It was interesting. I usually take of with a very shalow climb while I retract the gear. With 1 1/4 lbs out of the nose, it took of very steep. The first turn, the nose was staying high. After pushing the nose down, it flew ok but had a tendency to keep climbing. Nothing unmanagable, just wanted to climb. The landing was also very nose high. But this tells me that with a CG of 198, it is not too agressive since with an extra 1 1/4 lbs out I could still fly it. I should have checked where CG was with the weight out but I have laready reinstalled it.

Mike (Luv2flyrc) has also moved his CG back to where mine is and he really enjoys the flight characteristics. He has moved both of his hawks to this CG...
