Default funtana setup

Hey you guys I have a couple questions on my funtana. I am running a O.S 160 with a APC 18x6W and 15% fuel and I just maidened it today and it flew without any problems,I got to hover it in the second flight and it hovered under half with plenty of vertical power I am very pleased with the motor and power setup! but my questions are

1.when I was hovering it it had enough aliron to stop the roll but it took full aliron deflection and it was tough to get it and keep it in a hover at times, A pearson at the field was telling me that lowering the pitch of the prop would help with the spinning and free up the alirons so question is, is that true? and what size of prop do you recommened? he was thinking a 18x4W sound right?


2.the guy at the field was also telling me that if you have a enough tail weight, when you do a wall it should snap out to one direction. Now right now if you go about a quarter of a throttle and pull full up elevator it snaps into wall without dipping eaither wing tip is that the way it should be?



3.It does not do very good blenders are inverted flat spins it seems like the nose wants to drop, I was kind of expecting it to do this sense there is alot of weight in the nose. Does the plane need to be tail heavy to achieve these maunvers?



othere then thoughs things everything seems oky it does exclent waterfalls and very very good walls I have not tried a knife edge i am nervious that it will not do a good slow knife edge are not track very straight. This is my first glow pure 3d plane I have hade a couple of electrics but nothing this big before so I am kind of new to this need some helpful tips Will send pictures soon of it flying.
