Steve and Andrew - Fantastic! I'm really happy for you guys! Sounds like another vote for the P-70
Interesting comments on the heavier version landing better than when it was lighter. I've heard this before, several times. Do you know your R54's current weight with the P-70?
Wish I coulda been there to see it, but 25 degrees is a little chilly for me... Let us know if the starting situation improves with warmer outside temps (my guess is it will).
