Hmm. I wonder if that is my problem. I have to carry about 1/8" up-elevator trim to fly level. Someone here suggested I needed to move the CG back but, wonder of wonders, as I added tail weight, the elevator trim position did not change. I went to almost 3/4" back from the recommended CG. The trim stayed the same but the plane became a challenge to fly, especially when landing after I burned off some fuel. (The tank is in the stock position.). Why did you feel you needed the incidence change and did the shimming help? Thanks.
