Have a trimming question for my 2M Arresti III. On long verticals, it pulls slightly to the canopy. Not a lot, just enough to be annoying. Normally, this would say I need more downthrust. However, this airplane needs minimal down elevator for inverted flight, regardless of power setting, and is probably the best I've had in this respect. Power-on to power-off transition when upright is great; the nose drops VERY slightly when upright. I have a slight low throttle to down elevator mix for downlines.

Any ideas what to do about the canopy pull in verticals?

Thanks for the question. Suggest putting some down thrust in. The fall/or rise of the nose during inverted is more of a CG adjustment. It sounds like your CG is close- it should drop some when inverted.

Best of flying!

Don
