I'm currently tuning a CAP 232 Lanier ARF that I bought used. I believe I have once and for all proven that it doesn't save any time to buy a used plane. I could have gotten the kit built and ready to go in this much time - and lighter too.

Anyway, these are all good suggestions. With so little elevator throw, doesn't it take almost all the elevator throw to get the thing leveled for landing? Right now I actually have too much up-thrust, so it dives for the ground at idle. Tough to land that way.

I also have a snap problem - seems to happen to the same direction almost every time. Gotta true this thing up. I already checked elevators - but will re-check. I gotta do the lateral balance as well.

Also, I had a friend suggest using turbulators on the outer wings to help tame the snap. I'm gonna give this a try as well. I'll report the results.
