I assumed Dick meant the "foam safe" version of CA.

BoneDoc, Where is your cg now? 3.5" back is enough to hover. Mine is somewhere around that. You can go farther back and it will be easier to hover but I feel that begins to comprimise stability on other maneuvers like harriers and spins.

Read the previous posts in this thread for other ideas. If you have enough motor power, don't be afraid to add 1/4 ouce to the tail before you try anything drastic like cutting into bulkheads, IMO.
