Steviebrc, glad to hear you flew your Hog Bipe!!!!! Cool! I am like you and hate to add weight but sometimes you just have too... I still havent added the needed weight to my Bipe yet, I plan to do that this morning in fact. I am going to add at least 2 oz then recheck CG. I think if i was flying off of anything other than concrete or pavement I would take off the wheelpants, I have never flown off of grass but I sure would love to! I find it interesting that you needed to add down elevator too... I am now wondering if it is partially due to aft CG? maybe not but a thought... I will pay attention to my trim after I add the nose weight. I am hoping for a low wind day soon... Do you feel the 90 twin has sufficient power for this airplane? I am thinking a large as possible prop will help, i am glad I was able to put a 16 inch prop on the 95X. i went with the cheesy screws provided as axles for my Bipe, I am hoping it stands up well to use.
