RE: Mixes
Your problem is more likely wing loading, compounded by a smaller plane with short snappy wings by nature.
Sure give it a try, and try it up high and slow first. Your descent rate will become steeper with spoilerons and flaperons. it's better to keep some speed on it until you know where that point is where it stalls or tip stalls. Then back down the speed slowly. Your descent rate will inscrease as speed bleeds off. So don't get it dropping like a rock and flop it onto the runway. try flaperons as well, they are similar yet different. They will require you to keep the plane a bit more level with a little more speed. but it will come on down for sure....preferrably under control LOL
The first thing to do is try and get as much weight off the plane as possible. THEN go from there.
