Default RE: Great Planes Shoestring

I got the Shoestring out for a flight today. It flys straight and level but still has about 1/16" or maybe a touch more of down on the elevator. That's an improvement over before. The plane did not balloon when power was cut though I'm not sure I would expect that since I'm only trying to set the down thrust to what the manufacturer says it should be. Unfortunately I was only able to get one flight in due to a problem with the Perry pump but I will hopefully know more after the weekend.

With the new 20 oz fuel tank I had a 10 minute flight and still had well over 1/3 of a tank left. Purrrrrrfect!!!
