Actually there is plenty of power, it's just that it reacts slower than all of the non-turbo aircraft I've flown, and is often accompanied by a bit of a shudder in the engines. I guess the good part is it's kinda like doing a go-around in a turbine aircraft. With the lag you have to plan ahead.

CirrusMonkey, if you were asking me, no I'm not at Accuwings. I'm at a small private university in SE Washington state.
