HI, I want to start flying my Decathlon again now that we are into flying season. Just wondering if the plane will stop spinning by itself when you release the sticks? I know that most models will but some need "extra input" to recover. [8D]

Thanks Jim! I had some trouble with the wings as some ribs and one of the wingtips were broken in the box. I repaired the ribs but have had trouble getting the right angle of the wingtip. It flys fine but the wingtip was making the plane very wobbly in the rolls. I have tried the wingtip again and am waiting for a chance to test fly it. If it goes ok I will try the spins. If the plane still wobbles, I will replace the wing. Should of just phone TH about the broken wing when I first took delivery.
