Default Can someone help me diagnose my problem?

Thanks for the tips. No, I didn't build the plane so I didn't set/check the incidence. The wing appears to be warp free from visual inspection though I don't have an incidence meter to check this with. My thought (maybe just a hope) is that these servos aren't as good. I knew they were cheap but they had high TQ numbers and low $$ numbers so I went with them. Is there a way to check incidence easily w/o the laser meter?

As far as slop goes, elevator has nil. I'm using dubro control horns and the 4/40 hardware that came withthe plane. The rudder and elevator are slop free but checking it there is slight slop in the aileron (1/16" up/down). I will ferret that out after work today and see what happens but if that is a problem, I suspect it's only part of the problem.

The balooning on landing isn't just a pilot error, though the planes pilot (me) isn't the greatest. It is like stevezero sais and there is a VERY small landing envelope. I will shoot wingspan99 a message when I get home tonight.
