Well, I'm not the best of pilots, so I probably wouldn't even notice the difference.

If I can get up and down with the occasional loop or roll without cracking one up, I'm happy. My Dominator snapped like that. The first time I took off with it, I pulled up on the elevator and it corkscrewed and hit the ground so fast I didn't even know what was happening!
I hear ya on the build thread Pilot. Some of them are labors of love as much as the build itself with the documentation!
