Ditto to what Arch said on acceleration. My guess is you needed to tweak your throttle curve to get the initial feeling you were missing.

Jeff flew my Sickle the last two rounds of Masters in Covington after a gear plate breaking in his and he said we needed to work on the curve as he normally uses from 1/2 to full throttle and mine is only really useful from 3/4 to full so your hint would seem to be correct. He also said we needed to work out some "Other Issues" as well.

Seems he thought it was my flying that sucked all this time.

Seriously however, playing at the field is one thing, flying an airplane in a Round or two really shows the issues.

Concentration levels go way up in front of a set of judges.
