Maybe by someone else, but not by me, you've got me laughing out loud

One thing you need to understand about crow mode is it is intended to do exactly what it is doing. Slow the plane down and shed altitude. The glider guys use crow to help them get the plane on the ground to hit their spot during contests (they loose points for every inch they are away from the center of the target).

If you want the plane to keep flying in the same line you have to at least give it up elevator, which should be mixed into your crow mode. And depending on how slow you are going you may also need to increase the throttle. As you said the Saito is dragging the plane through the air as the crow is trying to slow it and bring it down.

I suggest you experiment flying at 1/2 throttle going in and out of crow. If the plane starts dropping or climbing when switching crow on and off then you should adjust your elevator mix as needed to keep the plane level. When I switch into crow at at 1/2 throttle it doesn't change altitude at all, it just slows down.

Next realize that if you're going really slow on approach and have crow on the plane WILL sink quickly. You need to increase throttle to allow the engine to keep the plane up. Of course, this is what some people like about the stick, it allows you to slowly harrier it in nose high with the engine dragging it along.

Finally I'd suggest that you spend most of your time NOT in crow mode. Also, if you like the long floating landings leave crow off and it will perform much like any other stick.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
