Have you tried acetoning the strut, adding a warp to the wing, and re-gluing (would have to be very careful not to undo any mylar or ribs however)?

Yes, I tried resetting the struts but it doesn't have a big enough effect on the end of the wing to eliminate the wash in on the right side of the wing.
so ur issue is that its not turning at initial start
meaning do you want a smaller circle?
it's not about the medals; go out there and have fun. make progress, learn a few things and have one heck of a time; that's all that matters.

Better circle at the start. Yes. Once it gets going it circles fine. If we launch with .3lbs/in or more it flies straight for 30 - 40 ft before turning.

maybe just tilting the stab more or adding another turn factor will help

How much offset do you have (out of curiosity)?

When you say offset do you mean shifting of the wing to the left of the plane? If so, both wing and stab are about 1/8" to the left...about 2 rib widths.

is there a particular reason why you shifted the stab too or no

I think that's what was in the FF instructions. Otherwise no. Should it not be?

depends on the plane, i dont recall it saying that in the instructions then again my team mates mostly built that so.
have you tried messing w other factors to create a tighter circle

That's why I was looking at the wing. I feel like the wash in on both sides of the wing is not helping and was trying to get the right side of the wing changed without rebuilding it.

well if the washin and washout isnt working, try something else? like i wouldnt try to push it any further than what the kit says to do
