Default RE: AEROBIRD EXTREME MODS!

HI all
[:@]Maybe the tail isn`t working out to be a big money saver, took it out again ( in a big way ).
Theres got to be something I`m missing here (probably a brain!!) today managed to get a reasonable height then it just peeled off to the right and straight down into the ground nose first (bang goes fuse no 2) if anything the electrics are pretty sturdy coz when i got them out they worked ok.[]
Just starting to get a little wracked off now......is it the mod tail?.... is it the trim set up? .....is it the wind (very little at the time of impact)..or am i just crap?..... if any thing i`d like some tips on setting it up trim wise .....PLEASE HELP..at the moment i do it as follows,
1 turn everything on
2 centre the trim sliders on the TX
3 centre the flaps using the wheels on the control horns (still original)
4 check everythings flapping
5 hand launch , struggle to gain height/control then CRASH
NB i tend to "fly" in pro mode as recommended by the maj of posters
