Default giantscaleplanes (GSP) P-40 Warhawk

I recently assembled the giantscaleplanes P-40 Warhawk ARF. I considered myself to be an intermediate flyer (proficient with .40 size up to 1/4 scale aerobatic models), however I had a time trying to fly this model.

I set it up as per the manual and had a very gentle setup as far as control surface throws and the center of gravity placement.

1. My first problem was that the model continued to want to nose over on the ground.
2. Once in flight, the model was very snappy, more so than the average warbird.
3. Upon Landing, it would snap out violently, therefore, I had to come in hot all the time. Once I got the P-40 on the ground, it would nose over.

Any suggestions on the giantscaleplanes .40 size P-40 fiberglassed model airplane. Please forward your comments to my email: [email protected]. Thanks!
