I found if I was strategic in my tests, I was able to manage. I got used to getting up early and shooting at 5 am, so I could get an out the door test close to +2 and adjust the carbs in his autofeeder if I felt it was needed. It also helped at night, since I had some time to gauge whether I needed to set an alarm to get additional tests.
