RE: ROO GROUND HANDLING PROBLEMS
Ben, re- SkyJet, crow on ailerons how much did you dial in on your Interceptor? thats a good suggestion and I will definetely try that if the 90 degree flaps does not help.... idle speed on engine is fine as is CG. the SkyJet is very clean aerodynamically except for the fixed gear... its suprisingly quick eg 160-180 mph if opened up

On the Interceptor, I had to program in a little up elevator into it as it tends to nose dive when I apply crow. The wing configuration on the Interceptor is different and might not result to a nose down pitch in your case.
Just start with a little crow and adjust it on each flight until you obtain optimal effect. BTW, always try it about 20 mistakes high and be ready switch it off immediately incase of undesirable effect. (lol)
FWIW, I have a friend that used this method to resolve his Airamich (sp) high speed landing problem. One nice thing about using crow is that it will always plant your airplane down on the runway without the tendency to balloon up after landing.

Yup, same gear, just holding it up to see how it's gonna look 
I've been saying every night I'm gonna sheet for three nights. I think tonight's the night Oh well, at least construction on this one is going so much smoother and easier than the last.

If I may borrow what MOROCCO told PORTIA from the unabridged version of The Merchant of Venice
All that glitters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd:
Fare you well; your suit is cold.
Cold, indeed; and labour lost:
Regards
