Thanks for the idea, Dennis...I've noticed the "best" results (still bad, but better than anything else we've tried) with careful throttle management as well.

I'm curious about your take on the prop/flywheel though...do you not believe we're looking at a torque issue here? It seems to me (and I admit, i could EASILY be way off base here) that the flywheel and 3-bladed prop offer more resistance to spinning up, as a result, MORE torque placed on the aircraft when throttle is applied.

Thoughts?
