It IS important to put the big end in front.
So thats what I have been doing wrong all this time.
I followed Jim's sugestions and turned them around. Wow what a difference. The plane takes off much faster now. There is like 1/10 the spray, I can finally take that Q35 off of the Goldberg Falcon and go back to the .80 I had on it.
It worked so well that I am going to try turning other things around as well. I think I will try the wing the other way tomorrow.
