I have spent 9-12 hours modifying my coroplast planes that took 10 hours to build.
Yeah, but that's because you made 4 hours worth of mistakes, Chad. (Sorry...I just COULDN'T resist...please know I'm just ribbing you a bit )

dus10lee,

Well, you're correct...if you just added the mods, they certainly aren't the problem.

And it certainly sounds like you're paying attention to the common causes of unacceptable performance form this bird...so I'm somewhat at a loss here. I would, however, still be thinking the CG is off somehow...and may require a bit of weight at the tail to balance out.

Glad to hear you're not going to give up on it...I hate to see a negative experience with a particular aircraft sour someone on the hobby as a whole.
