From the pictures, it looks like you are flying with the CG just forward of the main wing tube. This would put you maybe 1/2" or 5/8" aft of the recommended 168mm.
Is that about right? Was your plane a little tail heavy in flight or upon landing? Or just perfect? jim
Jim,
Yes my CG is as depicted, I don't understand your last line. I don't find it overly sensitive and quite comfortable to fly.
I believe I posted my elevator throws as well. You be the judge. I suggest that you do the same as I have and start flying and removing the weight progressively as you gain confidence in the airplane and your ability to fly the airplane. I am certain I can remove more weight and will continue to study that when the summer comes again to the northern hemisphere.
