Default RE: Own design problems

I trust by now you have the cg moved rearward and that has made it better. However remember that an aircraft with a symmetrical airfoil with a zero zero incidence setup will always require up elevator to fly level and down elevator to fly level inverted. Otherwise the wing will have no angle of attack and will develop no lift. The amount of elevator will vary depending on wing loading but will always be necessary.
