Default RE: How will it fly, what should I expect?

I flew the plane twice last night, it was quite windy, but not too bad.

Holding a little right rudder as the plane took off and it went straight as an arrow, with a very shallow climb out. There was no roll at all with elevator and I had plenty. I was pulling 30 foot diameter loops that looked perfect, with no roll out.

The only issues I had were instability in pitch, and too much throw. I had a heck of a time landing the plane as it wanted to balloon up, the plane appears to be a bit tail heavy which I will address before its next flights. It was really too windy to tell if it had any other unusual characteristics, it basically felt like any other Q500 type plane I have flown, other than having a weird shape in the sky.
