Bring it down to the field for someone to have a look, fly it and check if it's set up correctly or this it self has a bad flying tendancy.
Ok, I may have made it sound worse then it is.
The plane definately wanted to sink on me. Stock it is suggested that you use a Eflite 2S 180mAh battery. The additional battery I bought was a nanotech one at 260mAh (and a bit thicker and heavier). It definately made it want to sink - not go nosedown or nose up, just a level sinking that needed countering with elevator. It was the same (but much more extreme) with a plane I tried to fly with a USB camera on top, where the weight made it want to sink. Once repaired and ready for re-launch, it will get the stock battery first.
As for the rest... well I asked for "turn" followed quickly by "Oooh not that much!".... or words to that effect anyway.
