Dale,
I've got an EU1-A coming from RCaiir too, and I'm interested in the dihedral spec. you ended up with. I emailed Don, whether it would have it cut in or not, and am awaiting his reply. I recall my original Aero Composities EU1 rolling out of KE on both sides, so too much, although by just a little.
I'll also tell you that the pitch-to-canopy issue is one that goes back to the original design. Many solutions have been offered, and I don't know if I've heard anything difinitive to solve it. Huge downthrusts, CG's way back, reflex control surfaces, moving the stab., etc. I used the latter method, lowering the stab by 1/2", and placing a 1/2" block under the stab join line to set the anhedral. I didn't notice the pitch tendency, but it was a while ago, and this was my first pattern plane.
I wonder what you power system adds to the plane in weight; it seems your frame is very light. Excellent work, and a beautiful bird!!
