Default RE: Minimum airspeed

Hi All,
My Bro bought me an Aerofly for Christmas. I sent it off to a pal to build and maiden for me and as I type it hasn't flown. It is now here in Calif with me. I found this thread by accident looking for a fast, strong sailplane after totaling my Omei. My Aerofly is brushless and about 5 lbs also. The testing by my pal always resulted in a tip stall. I'm a bit saddened by the news it doesn't fly well and have that same curse as Bill that I just want the barned thing to fly. I have a hellacious investment in it so far and would hate to just drop it off the side off a mountain and call it a day. I have some small repairs to make caused by shipping and then my usual chickening out of a maiden flight so it will be a while before she goes up but I will post here the results, good or bad.
Thanks for all the insight.
Oh. I added ailerons to the beast. Might help.
