Hi Mustang,

My control throws as recommended, but CG moved a bit forward. It’s 25% now.
The plane is kinda difficult to fly; actually not to fly, but to land. It likes the speed. It stalls very fast if speed is not enough. However, if the speed is high, it starts bouncing on the ground. This summer I will try aileron washouts – bough ailerons 4-5 degrees up in neutral. I read it helps to decrees the critical speed, but I’m still skeptical.
My recommendations: control the speed and do not use asphalt strips for flying (bouncing).

Your plane is a bit smaller and behavior may be different.
