Agree with everything you guys have said. In fact, Jimmy makes a great point in that if tuning the engine to pick up an additional few hundred RMP (without getting it too lean) would make a big difference over the course of several laps. The plane is slightly nose heavy, but not bad at all. In fact, I could probably add a little nose weight and not hurt a thing. I am completely trimmed out, and she flys pretty much level without the need of any elevator trim.

I'm going to try a new set of bearings ($23.95 from Rc-Bearings.com) and continue to practice making consistant laps every time I am at the field.

Thanks,
