Hey everyone
I made it back from my trip to China. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to visit BJ Craft this trip. I shook off the jet lag and put in a few flights this afternoon.

After my last session, before my trip, I was thinking of making a thrust adjustment. But B.J. told me to wait on that and try high speed trimming first. He suggested trimming the airplane for full throttle (or at least 80%) horizontal flight. I did that and no longer felt the need to add thrust. I also adjusted my CG a bit more forward as well. After adjusting it I removed all my rudder mix and have no added thrust adjustment. Now it's like starting over with the flight setup. I really didn't do much other than make a lot of long passes today but it does track nicely. So, I'm pretty much at factory setting across the board right now but my CG is probably 5mm forward.
