Flying never was the problem..only landing.

Already seen some "Improved" landings with sealed hinge gaps and less aileron throw. (I really never knew exactly where to set the ailerons for say..a low rate setting)

Looking forward to trying some of the other suggestions on this thread.

I doubt that she will ever land as easy as a twist or tribute or stick or any number of other planes I could mention but she is already giving me less cause for alarm than before thanks to to friendly advice from those who know more than me. Thats the beauty of forums.

Most of the ones you mention have straight taper wings. There is a reason they have them. Opposite reason the fullscale (and model thereof) of your airplane's wing is tapered.

Don't throw in the towel yet.

Take the sucker up and do some aileron rolls. Fast enough? Too fast? If you don't need how fast it rolls, then move the pushrod out on the aileron horns or in on the aileron servo arms. If you discover you don't need the deflection you're getting now, then get rid of it. And your landings won't be so risky.

And learn to steer on departure and final with the rudder and the airplane won't be so hard to land.
