Morning Roland.
I land in the UK at Headcorn  in Kent and it shake my teeth, I had a little 
problem
and made a Flap-less, thought this is nice, may be the center of pressure
places different weight on the wheels or it settles down more gently i don,t
now. Normally a really short landing would be best but then you have all that
bumpy taxying after.
My kit number is 96 first flew 27/10/2000,

Nice to have Tarmac, My new base is like a ski jump,usually off at the bottom 
and
climbing up the other side, its great fun, i am trying  all different Flaps
and 30 seems good, its what works best for the conditions,but still 
experimenting
at the moment.

As for the Kick back, The newer engines ,(I Think!!) are 4degree ATDC below 800
rpms and the older 8 Degrees BTDC or something like that.So the new should be
better, however considering what these engines cost it should have been sorted
out  in the first place. I plan to put a Soft Start on mine, its a dreadful
sight seeing the propeller not making its mind up to which way it wants to go,
A more powerful Starter sounds good to give it less or no  choice of direction.
