It slows down pretty good. There is no weight. I hit a dirt mound that the dogs had made while digging for ground hogs a couple of months ago and havn't flown it since. I only washed the motor on the outside and want to do a better job.
You don't need too much throws on low rates... Flies smooth. Personaly, I don't do radical.

The last step of construction for me was to install control hinge gap seals made of Ultracote strips on the bottom side. This was only necessary because I installed the ailerons after covering the wings instead of gluing the hinges first. No big deal, just a different way to skin a cat, I guess.
