Thrust of the motor plays another part, how did you set that?
The best thing you can do, get someone with an experience flying these type of models at your flying field to help you to set it up and test fly it for you if you don't trust yourself. (That's what the Clubs and memberships are for)
I set the motor at 0-0.
Ive been down that path before re: having a more experienced pilot maiden a plane. Only found one guy in my club that will do that and he’s mostly on the road doing national stuff for the NASA.
