Default 3W Fun Xtra - Aaarghhh!!

Leonard,
Happy to hear you're pleased with the plane -------------------- after initial "gripes". I actually finally got my DiablotinXL on a scale today, what a kick in the groin that was ------------------------ 20 lbs fully fueled and ready to go. I suppose that is still light for the wing area, but it's much, much heavyer than I had expected oh well.
How is the Extra hard to land? Does it balloon up when slowed down (tail heavy) or does it want to bounce after initial touch down. A trick I use to make me look really good is as soon as the plane touches down I flick the switch on my Rx to turn the spoilerons on. I use a bit of spoilerons in elevators and harriers, and when used during landings they take all lift away and the plane sticks to the runway. They are also a good little tool to have if deadsticking it or coming in a little to hot and/or high, flick them on on the approach and the plane drops 100% faster, flick them off for final glide, and then on again at initial touch down.
