"Funny Farm"?!?!

Has anyone found a "funny farm" with a high ceiling? My wife is ready
to have me commited...so let me know! But I do have a few questions
in the meantime:
I made a purchase from A2Z and wow...ordered on 2-21, received 2-23,
unbelievable. I now have some teflon bearing for Penny size, and Mini
Stik size. Also some prop shaft bearings for my Mini Stik attempts, I
now have some contest rubber, stripped to size, just to see what it
was like, uhh, some .018, and .030, and .070,( cant do the rubber
stripper yet) and a 10/1 winder(weeee). So, commit me now.
  1.How do you store the rubber? Airtight best?
  2.I can't get a ministik to climb. I have a Poonker, it weighs 1.5
grams(with rubber). Used the .018 rubber. Long slow ride DOWN! Too
heavy? I centered the wing in the balance point WITHOUT the wing on
(like the Double Whammy instructios state to do) But the drawing I
have for the Poonker has the wing mounted forward of that balance
point. What gives?
  3.How do you decide whether to add "elevator" or wing incidence?
  4.Are the "wing incidence" measurements on the plans I'm finding
tried and true, then add elevator?(stab incidence?)
I'm not sure if my problem is trimming or weigh, or both. Im not
having much luck "manipulating" the finished plane. It breaks. But I
think Im not understanding the elevator/stab, or tail, however you
say it...and maybe the wing incidence should be relatively constant?
May need a white coat and rubber room soon!
