I need some advice and help. I test flew the Pitts this past weekend and after trimming it flew fine. The problem is with the elevator trim I had to input at 3/4 throttle setting. I almost ending up with using most of the trim available to stop it from climbinmg at this power setting. I'm used to added down trim on most of my airframes but not this much. The engine is set at 0/0, that is no down or right offset. Before I start checking the declanage angles and horizontal stablizer could it be anything else causing this problem. Yes, I went inverted and it took 3/4 down stick to keep it level. I always trim at 3/4 throttle and fly the sticks above and below this position. Naturally I ran out of elevator at low throttle settings for landing and had to land hot on the mains to keep the tail up. Please feel free to advice me on my lack on knowledge.

The help I'm asking for is where can I purchase a scale tailwheel assembly for this plane. When I say scale I'm refering to the appearence of the unit in relationship to its' full scale counterpart.
