I'm the guy that is refered to by blade971.

The wing incidence of the ARF I got is +2 degrees. It flew at 5" CG like it was VERY tail heavy (unflyable) before I found the problem. If you raise the rear wing saddle up 3/8" it will bring you to zero incidence. I flew it at 4 1/2" CG before I found the problem and it was still "unflyable". This plane should be zero wing and zero stab incidence. I am now flying at 4 3/8CG (with the problem fixed) and it is an awesome plane. A bit heavy (with Brisson 3.2) but flaperons make landings OK. The power to weight is awesome and my only flying limitation is me. Just goes to show that ARF's aren't always THE answer.
