Default RE: E-Flight Tribute 3D FX Flying issues

3DownLow,

That video shows not only your great 3D capabilities, but also the fact that the Tribute can handle all of it.

I'm still learning 3D hovering and it seems like it is going to take me longer than usual -- just a slow learner, I guess.
I can't keep wings from flopping back and forth on harriers or elevator. Hovering OK for about 5 to 10 seconds, then I loose it.
Probably need to move the CG back some, so will have to experiment. Also, I think a 12 X 3.8 would do better at hovering than the suggested 12 X 7. So, more testing coming up.

Questions: I noticed you have made some modifications to the Tribute. Would like for you to comment on what you have done.

I added a tail wheel and made some holes on the canopy since the battery was getting a little too warm. Those are the only changes I've made.
