Default RE: Help!!! - Crashing on takeoff and cleaning the mess

The only thing it has enough is power. I wonder whether landing at 1/5 throttle will soften the landing. Since the landing speed, which is a little too high, is determined by wing loading (and others), a little throttle might reduce the descent rate. But maybe the opposit may happen (on grass): it will bounce and then roll over..
My plan is to get a slightly wider wing with extra 15% area btw install ailerons. But that's just my way not to give up on this plane. Alternatively, my Avistar+FX46 will just be easier to fly, land, takeoff, do aerobatics. But it is not "mine" since it's an ARF (=No involvement, no creativity).
