Hi Leroy,
When we use the term prop stalling, the model won't climb at all.
However we have had flights similar to yours. We found that at high
torque, the model will dip the left wing and the model will circle
around without climbing until the motor unwinds enough for the model
to fly without the left wind dipping, then the model starts to climb.
We correct for this by adding wash-in the the left wing to compensate
for the higher launch torques.
Also high launch torques have a tendency to pull the tail down. This
also prevents the model from climbing until the motor unwinds enough.
The only solution we found for this is a building a stiffer motor
stick/ tail boom combination.
