My Feedback: (15)

Thanks for the replies, gents.

I was at ~122 mm to start. It tended to floated a little so I moved it up to 118 mm. It was OK there, but it seemed as though it became too nose-heavy... When I would come in the plane wanted to sink really fast and the elevator would be a bit unresponsive. So, I'd feed in more up, but then it seemed as though I would all of a sudden hit some critical elevator point and the plane would rise dramatically. I have since moved it back to 125 mm and now the plane won't settle in very well... it wants to float forever. So much so that I have to force it down. Every third or so attempt at landing it floats and floats and then slows to the point where I fear a stall so have to go around again. I'm just really surprised that those little (2-4 mm) changes translate into such huge differences in flight characteristics.

I need to keep experimenting, I suppose. I really need to figure this out because I absolutely love the way the plane flys. I just wish it were more predictable when landing.

Thanks again for the input.
