RE: Difference between 28% and 33%
Shaun,
Just get out and burn some fuel....don't be afraid to try new things. Learn your airplane. I have seen to many guys jump from plane to plane and never happy. I guess it like it's always greener on the other side. It all goes back to burning fuel.
My practice is 3 to 4 flights. Make the first flight a competition flight. Then work on the little stuff after that. If the first flight isn't working, meaning nothing is flowing right or going right. GO HOME. It isn't going to get any better on that day. Come back out the next day and start over. You don't want to pick up those bad habits.
