I get that jets are different, but having power to spare, IMO, is a great asset. And other than my first(real) jet, every other jet has had at least 1:1 at take off, so it's hard to steer away from that. My Rebel HOT is seriously hard for others to follow, buts its been a true rush for me. I'm not old, but at 44 years, I want to push my abilities to their limits before I have to come to accept that there are actually planes out there that I can't keep up with, at which time, I will admit defeat
