Let's see what the guys with all the inside knowledge and facts come up with.
if your low and slow and you loose a donk in the p68 and its a hot day (perth was about 34 that day i think) then its gravity over thrust im afraid in a piston twin.
The facts will come to light soon, ill be heading back to perth from the bush this weekend for the red bull air race so ill pop into jt and see the boys.
