Kent, This is a most important piece of information which I've not seen in the RCT manual and, to my knowledge, has never been mentioned by Dean. I had written more than once to ctuner list about my experience with pitch raising being somewhat different (I always choose -3¢ to -5¢ in the pitch raise dialog box) but never've had any explanation of why I should be getting unsatisfactory results using the default percentages of overpull. Now I know that it's because I've always done at least some settling of the pin in pitch raise mode. Gaaaa! Many thanks for this great hint. I look forward to faster pitch raises. Tom Cole
