    Mark thanks for chiming in - the 7KCAB I am flying does have spades, can't imagine how bad it would be without them. Had a bad practice session today, forgot to set trim before I got into my figures and it blew my whole feel for the day, couldn't get enough forward stick, wouldn't hold level inverted, dished out of slow rolls, blew my confidence so after a 45 degree up/downline exercise I called the flight early (no sense practicing once you aren't feeling it) and went back and shot touch and goes instead.

    Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right.
