Default Help me Take off!!

Hi Mike,

Yeah I've checked the ailerons and they're level. I am a newly joined member of a club but none of the members are ever free when I want to fly. Today in South Dakota it was a perfectly calm day (we have a very nice field too, huge grass runway) with plenty of sunshine so I thought it would be perfect to try to take it off. The funny thing is, as soon as she gets in the air she rolls HARD and gets upside down and lands on her (high) wing hard with a strong thud. I've even tried trimming the ailerons to bank right and that hasn't helped. This problem is getting me so frustrated. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the direction of thrust from the engine but i've tried keeping it centered and also a little to the right. The model is balanced left/right as well as front/back. It's the strangest darn thing. Thanks.
