Had to "cheat" to get over the mountains. Used 10% fuel to climb to 5000ft then increased load to 80% or 300 gallons. Aircraft actually handles OK when fuel is low....

Hello everyone B) My first post here. I have been flying flight sims for about 10 years now. Started with IL2 series and then Rise of Flight. Now I fly in peaceful times. I have FS9 and Golden Wings on my hardrive. Love the Classics!!! One of my all time favorite books is "Fate is the Hunter" by Earnest K. Gann. Awesome Read!!!!:( Anyway, my question is: Does anybody have any information or useful insight on the Ryan NYP?? I have been flying this bird for a week now. Mostly in San Diego with <25% fuel to get ready for the recreation of the flight to StL. Finally gave it a try yesterday-with 80% fuel. Augered in 3 times. Could not get the ship to climb over the mountains East of San Diego no matter what I tried. :( It is so unstable and underpowered. Yaws and rolls for no reason defying the laws of physics.......:( Any insight or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks
