Just get a friend with a BIG net to catch it with!   <div>
</div><div>There are many good lines of advice here, foremost of all is making sure the plane is properly balanced and aligned.   If your CG is good and all the throws are equal and the wing and stab are in line, then maybe the plane is too heavy.  You really shouldn't need flaperons on a plane that wasn't designed with them in the first place, and for all we know could be the very reason the plane sinks like a rock. </div><div>
</div><div>I have an Eflite T-34 that is designed for beginners with Flaps and droops.  I tried the flaps once, the plane flew like S**t, I have not used them since, and found they aren't needed anyways, the plane floats in nicely, but drops like a rock if they are deployed.  </div><div>
</div><div>That actually may come in handy next year when I fly, the farmer is probably going to be planting corn, so would be nice to be able to come over the top of the corn and just drop onto the strip.   Shoot just realized I will probably need a box to stand on too so I can see over the top of the corn. </div><div>
