Lou,
Thanks and thanks again for all your help. I will be incorporating all your points into my flights. If it weren't for all your generosity and help, I wouldn't be enjoy flight sim nearly as much. I couldn't imagine were I would get this type of information being it's so specific.  If you're ever in the Bay Area (CA ) look me up. I definitely owe you a cold one or two.
Hey Mark,
Don't beat yourself up so bad. I never thought of using Mach rather than IAS and I'm not even taking pain killers.
