Thanks for all the help, I will balance, give the engine a little down thrust and set the controls at 1/2 to3/4 and try again . The plane was climbibg a lot and the controls were very sensitive and very gerky. I can fly on my own but have not flown for a while so thought I would use this plane to get some time with. Thanks for all the good help, I will let you know how it preforms, Larry
