So let me ask all the dumb questions.

This is the Carl Goldberg Spectra,a wood 2 meter glider with a motor in the nose?

Do you have the CG set as per the instructions?

Is the elevator flat to the stab in neutral position?

Are the vertical and horizontal stab tight with minimal flex?

Have you checked for flex in the push rods? If you hold the elevator togive <u>some</u> resistance and move the stick, does the push rod bend or does the elevator try to move against your hand? Same for rudder.

Is there play in the surfaces?

Did you build this from a kit?



These are not relevant to trimming but just general info

What motor are you using?

What battery?

What radio/receiver?

Can you provide photos of the glider and component installation?
