To check the elevator did you handglide the plane before the first launch? A soft winch launch at first is a very good idea. Windfree's are particularly susceptible to warps--wings must be straight and I don't remember if washout was called for in the plans but if so should be used. I have flown several Windfrees and all behaved differently on launch. Some were pussycats and some were real scary. I think the better built ones were smoother launchers. One particularly troublesome plane was covered with econocote rather than Monocote and I think the softer covering added to its problems. Almost forgot--the plane MUST balance laterally for a straight launch. Mike Clancy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
