I have just finished a Lanier "Super Trainer". I built this for my son's 2nd plane. He soloed on a Vmar Comanchee back during the summer. I chose the Lanier kit because it was on special at Quanuam Models for I think about $30.00.
I had built the wing with (0) dihedral and was hoping for a more agressive plane when finished. The plane finished out with the balance point on the money. The first flight was sort of spongee at slower speeds and control response was sluggish.

I have since moved the battery aft of the servos and she tilts back a little when balanced.
Flight #2 was not much better.

The next thing I believe I can do is raise the engine thrust angle. It has a few degrees of down built in.

Do you folks think this will help? What else can I change/adjust for help?

The ailerons at full are 3/8.
Any help most welcome!!

Jimmy
