Bingo,
I think you just hit the mark. Now that you mention it, all the times that it has kill I was always in a vertical climb, always. I need to do what you mention about holding the nose straight up and giving it full throttle. I have never done this before not even at the field. This could be the solution to my problems. This weekend I'll get someone to help me so see it this resolve my problem. Getting excited now can't wait to see what happen. Will PM you on the results.
