So I took out my AA jet for the maiden flight the other day. There was a 5 MPH wind and I was fighting it the whole time trying to fly it back to me. At full throttle it would tip stall... It's now in a tree surrounded by 10 feet of mud and standing water from the MN spring melt.

So my first tip is, when you start flying your plane, take baby steps in adjusting it. Try flying it in a straight line and get a feel for it bobbing/porpising. Then adjust the center of gravity so the plane does not go into a stall or tip stall at full throttle.
