Default RE: Knife Edge Problem

V your CG is 1&1/4" in front of mine. Maybe your flying style is a lot different from mine? Mine wont 3-D at less than 6-1/4" and then it needs to burn some fuel.

IMHO some of you are wasting your time trying to use conventional wisdom on this plane. It is simply a different animal. I may get slammed for this or called an idiot. So be it. But I know what made mine come to life. The first flight at an AFT CG is nerve racking. Once it was airborn however the nerves were gone. This plane is made for one thing 3-D. Trying to trim it like a sport plane just will not get you were you need to be. Once again IMHO
