Default RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B

I built mine but can't seem to get it to fly well. Keeps stalling on me. The CG is set and everything is in order,but it is all over the sky...anyone currently flying one that can shed some insight?

I think that the issue of stalling might be partly due to lack of using the rudder ( in this case the "V" tail) to exicute a turn in conjunction with the ailerons. Aileron turns, with these long thin wings, will tend to put the plane into a stall attitude. So, be careful to turn with GENTLE use of the ailerons and add in a little rudder ( V tail ) just to avoid the stall tendency.
