Blisster... I'm not good at the thrust factor[].... I really did not have any problem
hovering, maybe I'm using more rudder to keep her upright??? But she'll hover all day
if I wanted too and I never really noticed.... But I was practicing blenders, inverted flat
spins, elevators etc.. Anyway on my uplines, I noticed I needed a bit more rudder to
keep her going stright up, it was a little windy up there??.. But I associated my left pull
to not having enough rt. engine thrush.. ( I hope) [8D].... And I seem to remember
some pulling on hi throttle runs at different times and maneuvers... I only added one
normal washer on the lt. side of the mount(2).. And will test to see how it does next time
out and I'll add more if need be or remove if I don't like it.... I sort of went with adding
the washers since some here does this.... It may be needed more with the use of hi
torque engines??? And depending, I think it can help in all higher throttle blips/positions???....
But I never added any to "Do" # 1 which had the YS 63 and the S-100... I remember
having some rudder correction at different throttle positions, but I did not add any to it..
That's my story and I'm sticking to it....

Barry.. Sounds like you had some slow fun.. I know what your talking about on the Surge..
Like your term... Gentle Giant..... Bet she's easy to see
