Well unless Dick leaned the mixture out it at sea level (KSFO) it should still be at the default rich setting. He said that's he's flying near stall speed which means he's most certainly flying behind the power curve regardless of the throttle setting. However a joystick calibration problem on the throttle axis certainly wouldn't help either. :) Paul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
