Tried my Zero again at last weekend, still having teething problems with it. The obvious one was the retracts, I have now replaced them with an air set that seem much more positive. Engine ran better, but I had the tick over way too high which added to the problems trying to land this very pitch sensitive model! I had set my C of G at 145mm which was on the 'safe' side of the range stated in the manual. I have since read on here that you shouldn't even consider flying it with the C of G any further back than 135mm, and I note some of you have yours in the 120s. It was a gusty day and the plane was unbelievably pitch sensitive on the approaches I tried. I eventually put it down with a couple of bounces on the fourth attempt and ran off in to the rough. This I would consider a hard landing, but I was pleased my U/C mod's held up ok. I have re balanced at I33mm which cost me another 12 oz of lead in the nose! Hoping to try again this weekend weather permitting.......It's getting there
