Hi Andrew, I don't mean to be critical, or make judgements. I have to ask why the CG was so far aft, especially on a maiden flight? My question is posed NOT to blast you... but hopefully some will read this and be more careful about the CG location on a new plane. I have only been in this crazy hobby 5 years and have had about 12 planes. (5 are still with me.... some I sold, and the rest........ well, you know!) I always start at the "close to forward" CG location for my first flights and have never experienced a bad first flight. ..... lownslo
