You're right. My mentor/instructor suggested that I tighten up the tension as tight as I could get it. So, I did. And I feel that alone improved my handling of the aircraft. I was no longer, unknowing, pushing aileron while pulling elevator.
Nathan.. It contributes, but it is by no means the answer. Many times, people just don't know how or why they should do a lateral balance so it does not get done. As for thrust, well, adjustments to thrust angles can be a pain in the butt, and again, most don't know how or why, so they leave it the way it came in the kit/arf. But thanks for pointing that out. It adds more to what I have to do to my Super Star 120.. [
