I take it that you're willing for somebody to go to the effort to help you, but not to take the effort to use capital letters or punctuation in your request.

They all are flat (dead) flat bottom.  Way too much lift in level flight.  Add nose weight.  Then you'll have to haul it off the ground.  May do a loop.  I wouldn't try a figure eight though!

Does it have a clock with a calendar function?  Try turning it forward a day so it thinks it's Tuesday.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Has anyone built any of Chuck Felton's designs with a real airfoil on them?  I know they build kinda heavy, but with a symmetrical wings, and maybe using E-flute cardboard they could be considerably lighter and more flyable.
