Default RE: my plane is ballooning

I had a similar problem with an electric glider and the cure for it was to mix the elevator with the throttle. From memory (it was some time ago) I had about a 30% mix of down elevator at full throttle but start off with a small % and work up, not the other way round. For the glider though I aimed for a fairly gentle climb at full throttle, not straight and level.
