Greetings All:

I've been flying a Norvel .061 diesel mounted on a 1/2A Junkers (slab fuse and slab wing). The engine runs like a charm and pulls the model around right smartly on 40-feet lines.

A question about a flight characteristic. When the plane comes around and is directly upwind, it suddenly gains a lot of altitude. Now I expect the lines to loosen a bit and can compensate, but I don't care for the altitude gain at the same time. Right now, I'm just struggling for level flight with this mini-beast so that I can move on from there. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

I've cross-posted over in the diesel forum with a photo of the plane.
