That is the problem, with the original thrust angle the plane was ballooning badly but flying with a tail down attitude despite proper GC balance.
When the engine was adjusted with enough donw thrust it flew better under power and didnt balloon too much but still flew tail heavy.
You know its really hard to try to understand because it seems as though you are using contradictory descriptions of whats going on in each sentence. Not trying to be argumenitive but just trying to help and that last sentance seems almost like a CG to far aft but just what does "flew tail heavy" mean. Does that mean it was unstable and difficult to trim out for steady level flight or does that mean it was stable but just flying with the fuselage hanging low in level flight?
