Default RE: Slowing pattern plane

jquid If I can keep the engine running I'll give that a shot lol and point of note, it an't no stinking B(ARF) it's a kit

I considered a larger plane but currently I don't have a means to transport one where the chances of damage are minimal. Most damage to my planes happens in transport. Plus I lack the necessary $$$$ to buy one and all the pieces to go with it.

I also considered spoilerons but I want to slow the plane down not kill its lift. I think, I might be better off programming flaperons with elevator mixed in but I will be trying the method jquid mentioned before I do that. The plane is nose heavy, balanced at the reconmended place on the plans. It has a respectable decent but its forward momentum is to much to do a proper landing.
