ORIGINAL: Pathous

Hey guys I just put together a flying wing. I have a couple question one is with my elevator is very sensitive and needs only about 1/2 '' travel to work very well but I need more roll out of the plane. Should I move my cg forward a bit more? This plane is built for RC combat (not slope combat). It has a 64'' span and 12.02 MAC. I have it balanced at 2.5''.

Thanks:
Get some stick-on weights and adjust your CG until it flies the way you want...then glue in permanent weight and remove the stick-ons. It does sound like you have a CG that is a bit aft of where it should be.
