Thanks John. I refer to myself as a " Lifer " having grown up around R/C and have been flying for almost 40 years. As you slowly work the CG back don't forget to reduce elevator travel as well. I would suggest you use no more then 15 degrees. If your radio has the expo feature I suggest setting that to about 20%-25% as well. Some radios will allow you to set both positive and negative expo so be careful on that. What expo does is reduce the amount of throw around center. Something you may already know about but just in case.
