Not sure what fun scale plane I will use. But I hope to use my Fournier in standoff scale.
Thank You to everyone who has chipped in. I'll probably add weight incrementally. If I have a strong headwind, I may need to penetrate better. But maybe just throttle control would work too.
Such a challenging hobby. Mentally and physically.
Thanks again.

I'm sorry but I have a problem with something molded out of foam and 90% assembled by some guy on the other side of the world taking 1st place in ANY scale contest. This to me is a prime example of what is wrong with this hobby. It's no longer what the individual can build but rather what they can buy! And that holds true to a certain extent in the other classes of scale too.
