yer, high alpha KE does tend to fall out if i'm not on it, but no different than a normal stall. what i mixed out the other day was a turn to the canopy, not the wind blowing it. tho it's doing it as much as it did before. its not bad, i can compensate and when i get better ( remember first plane that will sustain KE for me ) i probably will not notice at all. might help if i didn't do my KE circuits on high rates, makes the elevator a little sensitive
CofG is still 127 on an empty tank.
as for corners i can KE my Cougar if i want, sometimes right from prophang ( i like that move ) it ain't pretty and it takes more stick than the hang its self lol

just wondered if i could take out all the coupling, seams it's too conditions related. i'm not the best inverted flier, and KE wheels at me is still a bit confusing, i seam to be getting worse too! my KE loops on the first day were ok, now i can't even exit in the same direction lol

haven't mixed out roll, sometimes it's there, sometimes not, i can cope with that, will play with elevator more when i get better. never claimed to be good at pattern
