Default RE: Maiden flight

Did some research and figured out the issue. The CG is correct and elevators and ailerons are trimed. I have been flying my trainer which has helped me develop some bad habits lately. Trainers are very forgiving. I have been using too much elevator on take-off the plane has stalled. The trainer has some slight down elevator because it will tend to just float on landing. On take-off you can give the trainer extra elevator to compensate. The plane I was referring to was a Goldberg Tiger 2. I also fly a World Model t-34. They are both low wing trainers. Just had to watch a clip on Youtube of someone doing the exact same thing with a scale sized Hurricane. It was rookie pilot error.
