Appreciate the spin words Smokey. 

Have been trying to spin 85TP for couple years now without luck -- very for
ward
solo cg, won't do it dual first time -- haven't been able to get the entry

started,
though have hundreds of spins from USAF years. 

Will try again using your technique, see if I can get it to go. 

Cheers,
