Default 4 stroke spool down???

Today I took my edge to the field for a possible maiden. Well I never got to take off due to my concerns with my idle and spool down on saito 100. My transition from idle to full is amazing. no issue what so ever. However, my when bringing throttle back to idle...It takes about 5 seconds for the engine to reach the original idle rpm range - So stick comes all the way down, and engine stays at an elevated "idle" - then comes down to where it should be. What does this mean? Running saito 100 w/ APC 15x6.

Also at about 2300 rpm or so, the idle seems way too high. it pulls the plane across the runway fast. Re-tune I guess?

I have some video, will try to post later tonight.
