Aj, best little trick I learned is based on fact.

Reno racer Mustangs have the center of gravity located far aft. so they need to be flown with the nose being pushed down instead of pulling the stick up.

I have the trim buttons set up on my joystick so I can hit them with my thumb in flight for immediate trimming. since I;m not using the buttons to lock onto targets or select missiles.

So I trim the plane to pull up at about 3.5 g's. I press down on the stick nd control how hard the plane pulls up by letting off the stick. once the stick is in neutral I know I'm pulling about 3.5 gs and that I'm going to bleed off speed.

Mind you, I was setting those laps without running the plane flat out. the gauges aren't calibrated right. but I still dont run her at the full 130"hg manifold pressure. I was running 120, ADI on.
