Thanks Vicente, i too had the pleasure of seeing the ABBRA flwon by Earl Haury in the FAI schedule and it had NO PROBLEM inn 15+ MPH winds performing the maneuvers.

I appreciate the info and am surprised that the zdz40 could not perfrom any better than you describe. I wonder if you could use an E-APC prop on a Gasser to slow the RPMs down and get better performance because of the effiency of the prop.

Course i have no idea of the safety factor here, just a crazy thought, i would never try it.
