Hmm, this sounds more like too much surface throw. I would get someone to help you reduce the max throw on it so your control surfaces don't go as far. One of my big (And probably fatal if not for my instructor) mistakes when I started out the first time around was to set all the servos for max throw input on the plane.

I remember my instructor saying "Change this to this" etc.. Boy was I glad when I flew it for the first time, that little Arrow probably would have rolled right out of its wing if not for the instruction. (Well not really, but I would have spent more time with him flying instead of me since we were buddy boxed.)

LOL !! You beat me to it Ken!
