It's so true and to be perfectly honest Airguardian I completely forgot just how sensitive she is with stall speeds. I mean, flying jets for as many years as I have I certainly know you don't want to fly them close to stall speed in general but I have found F-18's to be relatively floaty overall (think dead stick) and that kind of lulls you into a false narrative of expectations sometimes. When I was that high and hot over the tree line, I thought I had plenty of leeway with the throttle. Nope.
I still am thrilled that after my cosmetic fixes how good she still looks. Dodged a major bullet yesterday. Looks like you are headed down the same path!
