I flew my WM cap 232 73" today after a while. Initially i had placed the battery on the fuel tank, but today, i moved it back about 2" n zip tied it to a spar that houses the throttle servo. So, uncertain as to whether a rearward shift of battery will cause any change in CG, i taped about 3 ounces of lead on the nose. My all up wt. is 10.5 lbs with an OS 1.60 running APC 17x8.

this plane has 960 sq.in of wing area, whereas the same size cap-X has about 1050 sqin.

On flight, i felt that the plane had a heavy feel to it. On inverted i had to press the down stick a little more than normal. n on steep banks, i feel that that plane over rotated a bit. Secondly, it tends to drop its nose in hovers. On attempted harriers it again wants to keep a higher airspeed otherwise it falls out of it.why?

is 10.5lbs too heavy for a plane this size?. what shud the best wing loading be for a plane this size to 3D? how do we calculate wing loading?
secondly, why is there a heavy feel to this plane? cud it be that the nose is excessively heavy?
