Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

I tried flying in some wind and every time I turned into the wind, the plane dropped. I just couldn't get any lift. This got me thinking again. The motors point slightly down to give the plane more lift. This has a tendency to cause stalls so we bend the elevator flaps down. This causes it to dive with no power and now I see it dives in a headwind. So what if you keep the elevator tabs straight and angle the motors straight? I think it will prevent the porpoise syndrome. The only drawback I see is you won't have your failsafe dive if it gets caught by high altitude wind. Anyone care to try it?
