Default RE: U Can Do 3D

Went out last night,I love evening when the winds are light,the Do is best in light winds,you can really get DOD. The engine doesnt transition well when its 85 or higher,even took the cowl off,same thing while TR'ing. At about 7:30 to 8:30,it ran perfect. I found out that ailevator hurts the rolling harriers,it helps snaps & rolls,and doesnt hurt the harriers at all. I wish it was on a switch. The Do is definately not a real good windy day plane,especially in 3-D mode,but every week I get a little lower in hovers/TR's,the rolling harriers are very slow and easy to keep up with,elevator & harriers are getting rediculous easy,land & take off,turn around right in front of me,pull to hover so slow,it looks like a 40%-all possible in light wind. I need to stop flying & finish the Giles(it should handle wind better)but it gets better each time out,I just dont think I'll ever want to fly the Do on those nasty,gusty days again. I'm gonna hear it from my flying buddies about that: (wind pu$$y!)
