Admittedly, I've flown only about 5 and that was some time ago, so senility may be a factor here. Power response was almost instantaneous. If the Walters operates similarly, I wouldn't think that lag had any effect. Actually, I would suspect the opposite. That power response is so rapid as to give inadequate time to react if you really cob the power at low speed. Naf Paul Nafziger LNC2 N7PN
