Default RE: Slo-V help

[&o]I need help and feedback on what to expect this plane to do out of the box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought mine 4 weeks ago and broke the spar putting the rubber bands on the wings. Bought a new spar and rebuilt the plane about a week ago. Tried to fly it a few days ago with these results:
Discharged the battery twice and recharged - from the looks of the plane I thought it would float out of my hand into the blue - didn't happen!! Attempted to hand launch 3 times with exactly the same results - plane flew about 50 ft out - could not gain any altitude - plane feathered as if landing and came down. It did not stall but looked as if it were extremely tail heavy and underpowered. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR CAN'T THIS PLANE FLY AS IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAN????


Thanks. Con
