Maybe too much nose weight, eh? I think I might try dropping an ounce in the nose and see what happens. I'm hesitant to extent the rudder in case I want to race the plane in the club 40 pylon race (unmodified Mach II's with O.S. LA 40's are the "stock plane" of the races here).

As for fast landings, are you talking about the difference between a full stalled 3 point and a wheels landing? I can do either with the Mach II, but wheel landings on it are much easier because it tends to stall quickly (might be the additional weight?)


Foamies eh? I'll look around and see what I can find for cheap, or maybe even make my own from plans (looks easy enough, haha)



I DO need to get more comfortable with my rudder. I've been using it, but only in some instances. It looks like using it more during stunts could help build up my skill. (especially to compensate for wind and crooked maneuver entry).

Thanks guys :-)
