George,

Your weight at 14 oz. wet is good, should be a good flyer. 1 1/2 degrees of right thrust is the usual norm. I take it this plane has no ailerons, right? What does she do on a glide test into tall grass? The cg on small airplanes like this have a tendancy to slip aft so recheck the cg and move it forward a little just until you get the airplane trimmed. Also, check all of the surfaces to be sure you have no warps and your incidences are right. I'm betting you'll find the problem above, good luck... Jeff
