I've been flying my first plane, a Goldberg Falcon 56, for about 
6 months now I feel like I'm getting to be a pretty good pilot.  
I just finished a 0.049 size Taylorcraft.  It weighs 15 oz, has
about a 1 ft^2 flat bottom wing, micro radio gear to control
rudder and elevator, and a Cox reed valve engine (no throttle).

I was expecting this plane to be a fairly gentle flyer.
It looks like a mini trainer. Thismorning I attempted my
flight.  The wind was about 10 mph, but I fly in over 15 mph
comfortably with my falcon. Anyway I hand launched the little
plane into the wind and it did a half loop half roll to
down wind and mashed into the ground before I knew what happened.
I'm sure I must have moved the stick, but I don't even
remember it. I was expecting to have a little more time to 
get control of the plane.

I guess I'm looking for sugestions.  I'd really like to fly
this plane without the aid of an instructor.  I have very little 
$ invested in it and I'd like to use it to practice doing my own
first flights. I will wait for a calm day before trying again.
And I'm wondering if I have the control throws set to high.
If anyone else has any suggestions I sure like to hear them.
I really need at least 2-3 seconds of semi level flight after 
launch so that I can get can get control of the plane. Thanks.
