tHANKS ALL, My CG is at the back of the range mostly by accident. And my idle is still relatively high. It's a new DA100 still on it's 2nd gallon of gas so i'm still in the middle of tuning transition. I'll try what dick said and things will probably improve with some more reduction in idle speed. I just don't want a deadstick if I can help it; at least not yet.

I got into IMAC interest completely by accident. I have a 2M pattern plane and thought it was a blast to fly; it is, but nothing like the kick I got out of flying a giant gasser for the first time. I now have two 33% Extras and starting a 35% Edge .
