The Q2 has a laminar flow wing (smooth flow, minimum drag), One person decided to put a trim color on the leading edge. Plane didn't want to fly due to the SLIGHT disruption of air flow. After he sanded off the extra paint and restored the surface, plane flew great. Just because it sounds good, doesn't mean it is. TEST!
