On chewing over the F1D flying, I strongly suspect that my model was flying overelevated. It seems that it can go too nose up, resulting in too much drag and the prop having to run faster despite the low flying speed. The let down is then liable to be rubbish since in effect the motor is too thin. You may have had the same trouble.
It seems possible that this setup is inconsistent in behaviour from one flight to the next as if there might be more than one stable wing angle of attack for the same set up.
I remember Tony Young at Chobham telling me many years ago that he had an A/2 with 2 flying speeds!
What do you think?

Did you change the tail incidence when you put the nice new wing on?

Having flown full motors under a 25ft Ceiling for the first time i have
to say its a nailbiting experience getting the models to fly upto the
ceiling allow them to drop before the VP kicks in to take them back up
again. It seems alien to fly like this but terribly impressive when it
works if not a triffle nervy a few feet from the floor on the first
decent.
If you havent tried this rollercoaster give it a go its actually a real
scream if not a bit fiddly.
