Default RE: Farman Biplane - Stability Problems

My 18.5% scale Farman Biplane (1909) suffers from severe pitching instability that develops shortly after take off. Maybe I have set the incidences incorectly, or maybe its the CG position that is wrong. The front canard seems to fight the rear stabilizers, once a certain flying speed has developed.

Can anyone help?
