Hi Ron V.,
62' eye to eye and 60' eye to eye is about 2/10s a second in lap times. Unless you built the Vector as a pretzel, and the FP 40 sounds like a 1 cylinder John Deere when you launch it, you should be just fine on 62' eye to eye.
If anything, miss the needle a click or two lean for the first flight, not too much, but a touch on the fast side. Faster airspeed will mask a lot of trim issues, but might save the plane early on. Once you get it pretty level and stable, you can start to refine the trim and slow the plane on down. On 62' eye to eye, I would say the Vector 40 can easily fly in the 5.3 to 5.4 lap times if decently trimmed. Wings level, and tank trim first. Those are the two worst enemies to a retread if they are not dealt with early on, IMHO along with proper CG. The CG should not be a real issue with the Vector 40 unless something has drastically gone wrong.
