Thanks Lou55. I will remove the 4 ounce spinner and try a few more flights. I'm using the forward position on the horizontal stabilizers and the plane is very pitch sensitive. I like the way the plane flies a lot as is, but wanted to be careful decreasing nose weight b/c the plane likes to balloon with up elevator upon landing.....not that big of an issue but the field is very short in between two rows of trees, so not a long distance to bleed off speed! This plane is so much fun! And the canister is so quiet[8D].
