Default RE: weight VS stability

OK i think i will add a little bit of weight and balance the plane better and see how it will fly and land. Most importantly, i will return the ailerons to the stock setting. When the plane arrived the ailerons were both pitched up like spoilers... naturally i did not think that leveling them out would make a huge difference (its my first 4 channel plane and it is a war bird corsair with the double dihedral) I think me removing the spoilers was the initial cause of this problem (Thanks to Charlie P. for pointing it out to me).

Thanks for all of the input, the information presented is very valuable to me.
I will come back here in a couple of hours and tell you if the spoilers fixed the problem.
