was a perfect day at the park.sun and a very light air.P 40  was very quick in  the turns , must add some nose weight . the  FP 35 had more than enough for her ,  Geoffrey  from Delta Park

Geoffry, might try narrowing your handle spacing before you add nose weight. If it flies level well, narrowing the handle spacing will let you slow the controls and still maintain the turn. Glad to hear you had a pleaseant day at Delta.... Were I but oh say 250 miles closer, I would come fly with you all. but somehow its a little far just to fly a few hours. the weather here, well there have been a few days over 45 but normally only when I am at work. YOu keep flying
