well the wind was not pinned from the port at a 90 degree angle. it shifted as wind does, and i was waaaay too bow down when it came up from behind and would cause me to push further down due to my already improper trimming. It was a few minute all around S-Show of poor tab adjustment, poor weight distribution, and my lack of experience meant it took me longer to figure out than it should have. either way, i backed off the throttle and sorted it out and hopefully will remember on the fly next time to get it right. didnt mean to hijack the OP thread with my own sloppiness, just to sit in solidarity with the learning curve to a flat bottom and a little chop. I believe I take your meaning when you say tab adjustment was the answer. and that I should have been properly adjusted as soon as I turned to run across the wind instead of after getting slapped around first. agreed sir.
