Aerjr,
I have read the manual extensively, as I was a Helicopter mechanic in the Airforce I am pretty much manual retentive. After my first flight the tail boom came loose and I made many adjustments before I realized my error. I also think that the "v" tail was off kilter from the factory slightly. The plane behaved differentlyevery flight and I thought it was because of the adjustments. I have not had a good day to fly yet. We are in the windy period of the year. I also strengthened the circuit board mounts with a design of my own and the Motor mount with zip ties. I was exagerating on my lack of flying ability for comedic purposes. I did save it from the road and busy traffic by ramming some power lines (don't ask). Thank you for the information though. I did not know about the wing strengthening thingy. I still do think I need more pilot learning as I see the curve is steep.

Thanks again
