Default RE: LT 40 climbs forever!

My father informs me that it is nose heavy according to the instructions. We will try the popsicle stick idea as that seems to be the most advised adjustment to try.

Thanks Guys!

Let me confirm the popcycle sticks under the trailing edge, that Ed Moorman suggested.
It was on my LT-40 that Ed & I were flying, that had the same climbing problem. He said to add the sticks....which adds a negative (or reduces the positive) incidence to the wing and reduces the climb tendency. You may even have to add another stick depending on the CG. A little nose heavy is a good thing ! Now I had a manageable airplane.

Try it, You'll like it !
