Ah, memories! I used to do a lot of this with Hemel Hempstead Aeromodellers back in the early 70s at Lucas Aerospace. Tiring of converted rubber power kits (Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokees, which flew fine) I tried a number of harebrained home-build designs that paid little attention to the theories of aerodynamics and which, naturally perhaps, did not tend to fly fine (high-speed ground craft, mostly). Best model ever shown though was a beautiful scale DH.88 with working undercarriage and flaps.

how do you control altitude, do you use elevators or is it just throttle control?
No elevators...just throttle controllers, similar to those used with scalextric.
