Basinbum,

You could be right about the CG issue. Mine is balanced at the 4 3/8" position which is the rearward position of the range. It's worth a look though. I do think that the 1/16" would make a difference though, in that the varience between the elevator halves would be enhanced tremendously on what we all agree is a very pitch sensitive plane. I mentioned earlier that my throws were dialed in at the recommended range on both low and high rate, but I thnk I will play around with dialing them down a bit more along with moving the C.G. forward some. There is about 4 ounces in the nose (on the L.G. Plate) that could go. That coupled with bringing the battery forward and it may give me about 1/4" movement in CG.

Looks like I'll have plenty of time to tinker with it today as this is our first blustery fall day. Chances of flying 25%.

Thanks for the info guys. Tracon, my condolences to your friend sorry for the loss. Been thinking about the SUK from VF as opposed to the Extra. Something different ya know.
