Jeff, nope, neither of those are it. I was real carefull about mounting the gear the right way after seeing Primodius' posting earlier ([link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/upfiles/86063/Nl29942.jpg]here[/link]), so mine is definitely mounted with the swept edge facing back. But I agree, it sure acts like the gear is too far back. When I taxi at low throttle, the tail hops up and down like a bunny rabbit. A power on landing should be a real adventure...

I balanced mine with a Kollercraft Pro Balance, and it might be just a couple degrees nose heavy balanced right on the mark, but it's real close. Indeed, the problem with the elevator trim I had would indicate it's balanced plenty far back. I was just debating whether I could shim the gear mount to tilt it farther forward; I may try that.
