Thanks for the suggestions. This roll of mylar has been in the box for some
time (couple of years) and took a hard set. Results so far:
Tape down the mylar and use a hot air gun - minimal effect
Iron the mylar on the bench with a bunch of pressure - minimal effect and
easy to scratch

You're correct. You need an opposite pitch prop. I forget what this is

John has broached a good topic. There is some validity here.
"Span Loading" No clue if this is an actual phrase but I think I see what
your alluding to. I think you mean "Bigger flys better." Which is
essentially true but with limitations.
Why? Because RE#'s tend to go up. Speed tends to go up.

Sometimes nearby noise sources (flourescent lighting, electric fans,

The fact that so many have responded proves a worthy topic. It's refreshing to
read people's experiences during the birth of their tenure with model
sailplanes. Funny how it puts everyone in the same boat, which is rare on this
particular exchange...

Is it that such topics generate great interest because they
