Default RE: Foam Seawind EP from Great Planes...

Due to a perfect weather I made a few runs this morning, having more and more control and stability. I will try to mix a little bit of up elevator with the rudder (I'm lazy) and also some rudder with ailerons. The rudder make smooth and nice turns with this airplane. It has no bad habits, very smooth. I've read about the effect of a sudden throttle increase when getting close to the water but haven't really experimented it.

Going back to this topic, I really suggest that GP change the recommended low rate throws for the ailerons and reduce them. With the recommended configuration the low rate aileron throws were way too high, the plane was very nervous and rolling too much.
