Default Tip stalling Extra

Hi, hope someone can help!

I have a Mid west Extra with a Zenoh 45 in it. The span is 78". The model is mint to look at, and it flys as if on rails. It will do any trick in the book i am capable of doing! I have been flying for twenty years now with many diffrent models, but cannot get my head round this one so hense the posting.

The Extra will fly fast and smooth. It will hover in a light ish wind, but when it gets close to the ground on landing, bang it tip stalls (always to the left loking from the front) no warning at all. I have played with the c of g, and balanced it side to side. Nothing helps. I bring it in fast but it will still try to stall and anyway the result of a fast landing and the tip stall are the same. The undercarrage comes off. I am sick of it being a one flight wonder when you go out for a days flying. I have got to the stage now that the airfame as nice as it is will be retired. I thought that i would post this in one last attempt to crack the problem.

If the landing could be fixed it would make a perfect model.

Regards

Paul
