good tip, thanks. I'd heard about raising the ailerons to reduce tip stall & considered doing it. Now that I've heard it yet again, I'll raise them just a tad. This model already has a pretty good ammount of washout, but hey- a little extra insurance for the first few flights is a good thing.Too windy here all day, I'm anxious to try- maybe tomorrow... thanks for the help guys, I'm open to any other tips- I'll be sure to post & let ya'll know how it goes.
