[QUOTE=mpieklik;11802821]Thanks for the replies, I'll make sure the CG is at 3" and adjust reward as necessary.

You are welcome Matt and you will find that moving the CG and calming down on the throttle most of the time your airplane will turn into a puppy dog. As noted by foodstick CG is always a compromise with many varibles depending most on the type of flying intended and there is not a generic conventional trainer out there does not respond well indeed to the 'safe' 25%. Many will adjust in practice aft to as far as 28% but 33% as practiced by some 3D type of airplanes is very inappropriate for a trainer and that is where those instructions are suggesting. GP is usually pretty good with that type of thing butt you will never see me balancing a trainer at that point.

It is very common for some instructions that comes with the unknown arfs to be grossly wrong in both cg and throws. At least that is my opinion.
