Rodney - Yes I was.  And I only just realised it when I read your post - Cheers. 

Rlmcnii - Thanks for your input.  I think you have summed it up pretty well for me.  I shall keep practicing on the sim.  I might try and work out how to trim the PT-40 a little and see if that helps to reduce the climb?  Or better still , try and work out how to download an LT-40 for the sim.  I will probably be putting an OS 46AX on my LT-40 by the way so it should be about right I hope.  Or I might end up splashing out a bit more and getting a Saito?   I like the sound of the four strokes.
