I flew the Hawk again today and it flew very well.

I moved the CG from 185 back to 198mm and only put 3/4 tank of fuel in so I could land with somewhere near 1/4 tank after a 7 1/2 minute flight and the landing was excellent.

The turns were also very neutral.

Felt like a different plane.

It did take some down trim and even more once the flaps were deployed, but Wow, what a difference.

I must say that with the CG too far forward, there is little to no window to land this thing. With it at 198, Big difference.
