Hi Scott.....you are right about holding right rudder for as long as possible when the plane lifts off. I think that is the reason it snaps to the left. This season I was going to try that method. As for landing....phew, I get coldsweat with the memories...haha. I found that it lands a bit better just about a stall with full up elevator. It still is a hit and miss with me...but I found I'm landing now more often than flipping over constantly. Landing is more like a "controlled crash" with me and this plane.
I also found it flies better on high rate....it doesn't like low rates.

Cheers.
