Yes to all the items mentioned above. The plane was launched smoothly and straight and was on its way until course correction required left rudder (which is set up to the alileron). The plane responded in all axis except turning left. I used six rubber bands which would pull this light balsa apart before it flexed. I hate to make this one a hanger queen because from what I can see it should fly. I quess I could adjust sub-trim to include a little left and see if this give me any control. I will monitor this page if anymore information is offered.
