That has nothing to do with it. Its how you fly the plane. some people like to yank on the sticks. And some have smooth fig. and know what they doing. ( Rifle movement Is 1/2in all around, no expo.

I like that design. Sure is light. What airfoil did you use?
The wheels are cool. How is it on take off, or do you hand launch?
I have a MVVS .40 with rear exhaust that would go great on this design.

very true, i remember one guy saying it didn't turn unless he gave it tones of elevator, umm not that type of plane.
i've test flown a delta, lovely and smooth it was, gave it to him and it looks like a bronco

Every body flys there planes diffrently, some will tell you nose weight is better( looking for a higher stall rate. Or taking off full power before it reaches speed then pull the stick back than whatch the turn letf in to the ground doing nice cartwheel). OR tail weight , Now those are the one to see, Its like a rollercoaster ride [X(][&:] believe me i Know I tested a geebee and the guy said c/g was on the spar, i said ,are you sure, yes, then lets try it. have you kneese shaking? well mine was.
