Just did a 360 around the runway and felt the plane bite—ever wondered how we could tweak the fuel load for maximum performance without overloading the bank?

Sounds like a classic trade‑off: more fuel means more weight, which means more lift needed and higher bank loads. The trick is to keep the fuel close to the 15‑minute margin for safety, then lean on efficient cruise speed to stretch the range. Think of it as a budget: spend just enough to get the job done, and you’ll keep the bank angles in check. If you can’t afford a short‑haul, just trim a few gallons at take‑off and add a small reserve—no need to over‑bank for a 360.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head – keep the fuel low, the bank tight, and the thrill high. Just tweak the load a bit, keep that margin, and you’re back to flying hard without the wobble.

Glad you’re on board. Keep the fuel just enough for the 15‑minute reserve, trim any extra, and the bank stays tame. If it starts feeling like a tightrope, drop a few more gallons—no one likes a wobble.

Got it, keeping it tight and sweet – just enough fuel, trim the rest, and if the plane starts acting like a noodle, pull a quick jettison and go for it. Bring the adrenaline, keep the wobble at bay.

Sounds good – keep the load lean, monitor the margin, and if the aircraft starts to feel like a noodle, a quick jettison will cut the weight and calm things. Adrenaline’s great, but a tidy bank angle is the real win.
