Default RE: KMP Stuka-build details

The balance is off...My first flight was pretty scary...I got rid of the elevator pull-pull and used 1 solid 4-40 rod with a clevis on both ends.I trashed the ca hinges for the elevators and used heavy duty nlon ones....I ended up taking the dive brakes off..Turned out they were making the plane climb. I had them mounted with the slanted mounts facing the back of the wing...Which engine are you planning on using? I'm using a 26 cc gasser. After shifting the ignition battery all the way to the front, and moving the receiver pack forward, I didnt have to add any weight...The total flying weight is around 16 lbs....
