Sorry to put three replies in a row, but I have only just seen this thread:
The canopy fixing will not take an all out snap roll, mine came off twice, I have since put a slide pin canopy latch in the top of the canopy that pins into the rear deck former, bent the exposed sliding part at right angles above the canopy, this gives me a handle to take the canopy off with.
Did not mention I am using an AXI 4130/16 and Flight Power 4350 6S, but using the Hacker ESC as its a stepping BEC and will take the load from the digital servo's.
Guys
I have flown mine extensivly over the winter and found that the incidence pins on the wing begin to get very loose in their locating holes after a while, so I have put reinforcing rings of carbon plate on the inside of the fus to take up the slack, a much tighter fit and possible only needed to be done once using carbon plate.

I havn't had to touch mine in any way other than the above, not even any trim on the Tx when first flown, using a 16x10 on the AXI the built in side thrust is absolutly spot on, with the battery pushed all the way back to the wing tube the inverted is hands off, and knife edge is also hands off using the 6% mix as advised in the manual, you are obviously using a seperate Rx battery can you move that around to get the C of G a bit further back?
As I am using 6S I am nearer 1400watts which may make a difference, your temps sound high to me, but then I live in the UK and the ambient is a bit lower [sm=cry_smile.gif], its a wonderful plane to practice with and I would not be without mine, I will put my "Medusa Orcle" on her next time out and report back the findings.
