Default RE: CMP giant scale Zero build

flew mine today, it was windy so it was hard to get a good idea on the speed of this one but i felt it was slow.
My first takeoff role out the right strut came loose so after tightening them up. The role out was smooth and it lifted off quickly. During the climb out and first turn I had to hold down E. once that was trimmed out it needed 2clicks of right aileron. Did some diving and climbing at 60% T with no surprises. I flew it a 5pm and as with all dark camo planes it was silhouette on the sun side. I did a roll to both sides with the gear still down and it was pretty average. Should quicken up when the gear are retracted. I put the flaps down with half T and it started to climb. I reduced the T until it leveled off, I opted to not go any further to keep it flying right to the runway. I came out of my down wind turn at 200+ ft and dove steeply for the runway (45-60 degrees) pulling out into a shallow dive at twenty feet and reducing the T to a few clicks above idle. Once I leveled just above the runway reduced to idle and held it of with the E as it settled in very gently.
