Mark, Didn't you find that if faced with a problem that you just couldn,t master even after repeatedly trying over and over, just getting out of the plane for a while and doing something else to get your mind off it for a while and then getting back in and trying again would give major improvements in the way you handle it. (Phew) I found that when on a long trip (3.5 hrs) in the right seat of my friend's KR (now owned by Serge Vidal) I was given control just after climbout for the entire trip and just couldn't keep it straight and level. The thing was like a dolphin swimming in the sea the whole flight no matter what I tried. On our return trip three days later I was once again given control and to my surprise somehow my brain had worked out the kinks and I could maintain level flight indefinately with very little effort. Good luck with that first flight, I suppose I will have to set my screen resolution to max to be able to fit your smile in soon.

So this morning I went out to get some MORE practice, and had 20 high speed runs in before the FBO opened at 8AM.
