<DIV>I think P-05's humpty bump with one positive snap up, exit midlevel is the
new power test, dethroning the vertical nine with 3/2 up. Having good speed for
the top 1/2 loop and going high enough to make the midlevel high enough to do a
vertical 8 from middle requires raw, on demand power.</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"> Yes, it is plumbed
different, like to old ones, which I like a lot better. Lot easier to
install too. You are right, the picture in their add is not of the 140
Sport. I went to the field tonight and wound up setting the low end adjustment
to 5 turns out, and it idled really nice, and just a tad rich on the
transition, but I can feel the engine developing more power every flight, so I
believe that was the original problem. I just had never had to adjust my
L's out that far or even hardly move them, so this was all new and I didn't
want to move it out too far without some feedback. Thanks to Earl, Glen,
Bob, Eric, and all those I forgot to mention for the help, believe I got it
whipped now. And I can say this for the 140 Sport. Definitely a
lot stronger than the old FZ's. I have a 16 x 11 and am turning over
8600 at the present and still a tad rich on the high end, like Bob said, maybe
1 to 2 clicks rich. I have it in a 10# 7.2 Oz Temptation that I just
built and I can see no reason to need any more power for what I fly, and
again tonight, I put it through several of the masters manuevers that require
a lot of power and the only one I opened it wide up on was the Square on
corners, and then realized I didn't even need it at full throttle. But,
there was not much wind this evening either...so that will come into play down
the road. But what a difference in idling vs the L's...Hardly any
vibration at all which is a lot better on the gear, everything....Also can't
say enough about the Temptation, what a sweet flying plane, and you can fly it
at any speed that you like and it performs flawlessly. I moved the CG
back a little tonight from the recommended setting, and it performed even
better. Very little, and I mean very little coupling on knife edge, and
had to mix 6% up elevator with the rudder to stop the slight pull to the belly
on knife edge, and 4% ailerons to stop what coupling that there was, as Earl
stated he had to do also. Am looking forward to many many flights on
this outstanding plane. Eric, you, Earl, and Tim were right on about
this plane.....Again, want to thank everyone for their input. Ron, hope
you try their suggestions, it worked for me...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
