The reason for the 4500 is that the P-40 is now running 6s and CB uses 4500, so it's a good all round battery, will get more in the future. I don't see a problem with using a bigger battery, the battery placement is so close to the CG anyway. I wouldn't go overboard because of the weight factor, but hey, if you can work your way up and its still good, go for it.

Stop trying to land on all 3 wheels at once. Hold the nose-wheel off the ground. If you get it right, the drag of the main wheels touching pulls the nose-wheel down. Looks very nice and like you touched all 3 at once.
You want the nose-wheel to touch after the mains, never before.
What is happening is landing with (slightly) excess speed due to keeping the nose down. If the nose-wheel touches AT ALL before the mains it bounces the nose way up... and it looks like you used a pogo stick for landing gear.
You can adjust the spring tension in the landing gear to reduce the bounce. You want appx 1/3 of travel just with RTF weight on the wheels. (if it can travel 1/2 inch you want the stop screw appx 1/6 inch from the top of the slot) Do that to the mains too. More tension does no good at smoothing bumpy runways. Less and the gear will travel full range on bumps it should be able to handle.
I adjust by disassembling the strut and cutting 1/2 to 1 turn of spring off at a time. (Dremel cut off wheel) Put it back together and check, dropping the model from about1 inch above the ground (just enough bounce to overcome friction in the struts) then seeing where they are at rest.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

Sadly, Kit (the cat in the picture) is in kitty heaven now, but the three kittens love going downstairs to play with the planes. One in particular is trying to help whenever I'm doing something.
I wonder what they're thinking sometimes....

Are we ready for a Version 2? Front strut brace installed, control horns with backplates, flap servos flipped over (I think that was an engineering oops.), maybe other colors or all white for a diy scheme. I really like the yellow ever since I saw a yellow Scorpion. How about a turbine kit for the wealthy? There is not a lot you can do with a near perfect model like this Avanti.

I prefer the low throws on ailerons, low to mid on rudder, and mid on elevator. I found the high throws on aileron absolutely bonkers. LOL
