There was a slight tendency to over-rotate after touchdown, purchase nothing too dangerous. Straightforward to complete an under-rotation after touchdown. 

Jibbing

Actually good. I actually appreciated the general playfulness and straightforward maneuverability for establishing for options. And the simple pop was nice for popping onto and off options.  Whereas the looser feeling is probably not for everybody on rails/bins and so forth, I loved it and the way it made it simple to slip out – although in some circumstances it may slide out a bit greater than you had been bargaining for – however when you get used to it, you get a really feel for a way it’s worthwhile to method it and regulate accordingly. 

Butters
