olderndirt, you're not doing anything wrong, mine does the same thing, just remember to fly the plane, not the simulater. I have heard though that the pt-40 has a horrible thrust problem and GP had the sim programmed exactly like the plane would fly out of the box, I brushed up on the sim and took my eagle 2 out this weekend and almost pulled a loop with it because it doesn't do that like the sim I had to consciously remember to watch the plane and not fly by feel. I talked to my club pres. and he had the same thing happen, though he got too used to the sim and looped on a touch and go.........ouch
