Default RE: GWS Corsair Ailerons?

Well finished it last night and flew it that evening, bit twitchy I have to comment, although it was fairly windy, to the point that I was hurtling downwind, turning into the wind to find it just kinda float there! Other than that, easy to trim out, going to play with my controller to mix in a little rudder when using Ailerons, I presume this plane would prefer to be flown as such.

The Corsair doesn't appear to want to glide...at all! It kind of just halts and then stalls no matter how you engineer the glide path, landing has to be fast.

Primary advice though, unless landing on concrete REMOVE THE PATHETIC WHEELS!! They always cause it flip, you're better off belly landing!!

Otherwise, little underpowered using the standard 350 GWS motor and 8.4v 900mah NIMH pack, really needing to uprate my electric stuff, need more power and the stock kit just can't cut it!!

Anyone else flown the GWS model and agree with the twitchy comments, or is it just mine?
