OK, guys, I'm starting to come around to Brian's way of thinking. I moved my CG forward about 4 or 5 more millimeters today so now it's about 1/4" behind the wing tube. The elevator trim didn't change at all, but it definitely flew more stable and did much better stall turns. Landing still seems a bit squirrelly so I think it could use even more nose weight, but I hate to put more weight up there. Guess I should try moving the CG further forward to see how it affects things.

It still requires quite a bit of rudder and elevator on slow rolls to keep the nose from dropping, something I'm not used to. I guess I'll just have to get used to it if I want to keep and compete with this plane.
