i know what you mean googled this rain does suck. it has kept me grounded for like 2 days now. neuro is right move the LG back so it gives the plane more of an angle to lift off the ground. i have found something that works the best is the LG off a balsa wood wind up prop glider. it light enough and still sturdy. you can find them at a small hardware store like a True Value kind of place.
