That's great info ilikeplanes :thumbup: . I look forward to trying some of these things.

BTW, I have noticed that even though the elevator trim is good at full speed level flight, when I dive the plane it wants to drift up-wards. I assume this is what you meant by "pulled out of down lines". Also it takes a lot of right rudder on takeoff, so much that when it leaves the ground and I release the right rudder it yaws to the left significantly.

You mentioned that you used #10 washers on the left side, did you use just one washer on the top and bottom of the left side or multiple washers? If just one washer on each how did this result in any down thrust?

When you moved the CG back did you have to reduce your elevator throw?

Thanks for the excellent info, this is really going to save me a lot of frustration !
