Default RE: Showtime

I think I found my wing problem. I, like some others, had a bit of left aileron trim to fly the plane level. With the right aileron slightly down in its trim position and feeding up elevator I think the right wing was stalling first and dropping quite fast (like in a wall). I used the elavator to flap mix and used 20%. Now I can do the wall without it wanting to snap over or droping a wing. I have gotten it locked into a harrier and it would not really respond well to any inputs intill I gave it a bit of thrust with the motor, (i.e. rudder and throttle bursts to kick it around) It is a new plane with the spoilerons activated, though I still managed to almost put it in after a long flat spin. I only got two flights in this morning as the wind really picked up. Dont even try to steer this plane in a stiff breeze with the SFG's installed, they are just great big sails and the plane becomes a weathervane. I had a nice walk after landing on my second flight, I could not get the plane to turn around.
