Great explination Dave.
As you noticed, in my first 2 videos I was only running in Normal Mode. For the loop I was in Idle Up. I'm going to continue running in Idle Up from here on out as I do notice a difference in tail authority because of head speed. I'm going to leave T & P curves where I have them now (stock) and as I progress aerobatically will begin to adjust as necessary. Next will be a roll and I think I will need more cyclic response (and maybe more throw) to keep the roll axial instead of oval shaped.
Jay- I like higher head speed too, you and I seem to be of the same mindset when it comes to T & P curves. I'm going to progress slowly and as always I write down everything I do so if I don't lke the result I can always go back without guessing.
Jeff-Everytime I see that Vapor I can help but think of the old "stick & tissues" planes. I can't believe how durable that thing is!
I can never learn enough about this hobby & I think it's great to have a super bunch of guys to bounce things off of!
