Gaining Altitude

[jander14indoor]

Unless you are counting cranks of a winder so turns on the motor are like 2000, you are not winding NEAR hard enough. You won't have much torque at all with that few winds its what a good plane will LAND with.

I was winding 200 winds to test it. Should all planes stall like that with so few winds? should I push the leading edge down to stop the stall or will the stall be non-existent in a 1800+ wind flight?

Planes are trimmed (adjusted for optimal settings, not actual cutting) at cruising altitude because a plane that flies well at cruising altitude will perform well in other parts of flight. It is a good idea to start with few winds like you did so that if settings are non-optimal, you are able to regain control of the plane easily (e.g. stop a nosedive). Well-trimmed planes even at low winds once already moving.
