Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

Update on the jet/bipe. I started with the spars off, it was a bit squirrelly last night but the wind was negligible. I took it out this afternoon in a moderate wind. It was really sqirrelly. I was flying inverted a lot. Ground effect became lift. I put the spars back in to see if that settle the plane down some. It appears to have done so. I think the greater power in the motor is causing the wing to flex more than it does with the standard motor. Also, I'm wondering iff moving the motors a little farther apart would help. You can watch it oscilate(sp?) when you launch it.
Any thoughts welcome, I'm considering making it into a mono with canards. See if that will settle it down. Tim
