Well, no, not exactly. Besides flying well, the plane should function well and be durable. Ex: servos should work freely, fuel flow should be reliable, fuel proofing and covering should insure years and years of portection.

Often good craftsmanship only becomes apparrent after years of maintainance free flights.

But don't be to hard on yourself either, it isn't unusual for a new plane to have at least some teething. I will often spend several weeks fine tuning a new plane and adjusting or correcting things. Ex: my new Chipmunk had a small but known mistake in the incedence in the wing, only after flying the plane did I decide to correct it. And the canopy blew off because I hadn't scuffed the Monokote before gluing. I have been flying for 25 years and building models for nearly 40. I rarely get everything exactly right on the first try. Now and then I hit one out of the park, but usually I need tol go back and "tweek" things.

I don't know if you follow NASCAR, but the driver and the crew chief must communicate to each other the behavior of the car. The driver speaks in driver talk, and the mechanics speak in thier lingo. Often it is difficult for a driver to express his needs And for the mechanic to understand what he wants.

Well, you are the driver and the mechanic. If you understand what makes a plane behaive this way or that way, AND you can tune your planes to fly as you like , you will always have great planes !!!!

In the meantime, don't let them rot !!
