Matt; thank you for your response (everyone too)... that's not the plane but you have the idea of my dilemma down, its a beginners plane so no trimming, no alerons to mess with (its foam).... so with that in mind, maybe my take off is bad..... I understand Im supposed to go full throttle while plane is in my hand and then throw it,,, is there a special way to throw it???

2. Funny you mentione the right turning faster than left, I cannot tell this by eye, but I noticed yesterday the left does not sound as powerfu... can you tell by sound?
