THAT'S IT SONNY! YOU GO WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP RIGHT NOW! ! ! ! !



When I was flying my Quickie 500 with the 25 on it it was so clean that if I didn't set up the nose high mushy approach soon enough I had to go around. I soon learned to drive it down under speed and then out at the end of the runway pull up and into a very steep chandelle style of climbing turn and be sure that the recovery to level was done with some elevator trim added and to keep that nose up. The better I did that the steeper the approach. If something happened and the nose came down or I stalled it slightly and it sped up in the recovery it was go 'round time again. That thing held onto speed like nothing else. I've heard that the Formula One racers are even worse with their super clean profiles. They may be heavy but they are darned efficient.
