Hi Kanto...... Like I told ya....these models are tail heavy, but in flight it heads for the ground. You have to dial in lots of "UP" trim. Ok.....here's what I did.....no lead weights. Build the Trailing Edge of the wing @ the Fuse 1/4 inch at a time. Fly it until you don't have to build it up anymore. Don't exceed 1/2 inch. This will change the AOA and there will come a point that you don't have to dial in "UP" trim. Thrust me on this. It flies great after that. When you finish building the Trailing Edge....use Wing Tape and fill the gap between the wing and fuse. Remember....no lead weights. OK. I know these models...only ones I'm flying now.
