Default Creek Hobbies Studacher - Construction Notes

How different in this plane from my Creek Extra? I have my elevator servos in the tail, battery on the CG. CG about 5.25" from LE and no lead. Still trimming it out, but the CG still needs to go back more. Do you guys have too much elevator throw? Something to think about....The more forward the CG, the more elevator you need to control it. If you start with too much elevator it will be unstable and pitch sensitive. Try this, starting high, put the plane in a 45 deg dive at idle. If the plane starts to level off on it's own, the CG is too forward. If the dive steepens, it's too far back. If it doesn't change, well... If your CG is close but it is pitch sensitive, reduce the elevator deflection and increase expo.
