Default RE: new guy with a question

It will but not enough. You will still want a bit of angular help as well.

Yes, the addition of someincidence is related to the CGmoving ahead a bit and also to the fact that you won't be flying it at the sort of speeds that a racer would use. Basically you want the model to be a "sheep in wolf's clothing"so it looks sleek but has the manners of a trainer.

Later on as you get comfy in the air and with handling the model during landings you can inch the CGback a little at a time and re-trim the elevator. The model will become increasingly more neutrally stable as you do this. At some point you'll find the happy spot where it flys well as a sporty model. At the same time you can increase the amount of control throws for all surfaces and go from a soft responding trainer like flyer to a pretty snappy sport flyer.
