Default RE: HELP !! Giles 202 Handling problem

Hey guys,

The instructions call for 5/16" up elevator. Once I set the throws to this, it looped fine, but it wasn't as much reaction as I would like to see. Today I set the throw at 1/2" up and it went right back to rolling out (to the right) This may be because my lateral balance is not set correctly due to having the engine mounted sideways. I'm going to balance it tomorrow and try it again. I have very limited flight experience and probably started with a plane that I shouldn't have. Liked the looks and bought it. It sure is nice to have a resource like this one to get advice. Thanks for all your posts.
