Rick..... Nice rebuild... as far as the vertical climb with full throttle the guys are spot on, a tweeking of downthrust will help... but you will have to live with any elevator trim beyond a good flying speed.......
As for the trim (aleron) to fly straight and level, there is a lot of things to consider..... but of course you could live with it ... I noticed on your rebuild photos, the engine had a lot of left thrust, ( the pic with the glow plug removed) Do you have perpendicular thrust or a little right thrust now??? allso I noticed you had wing damage, yes it could be a warped wing, however it looked like you repaired just one side of the wing, the question here is do you have lateral balance??? a quick check is to have a finger under the tail in the center and quickly lifting by the spinner a couple inches off of the table ( with piston in non compression) , ( factoring in any side thrust of the engine) does it allways dip to one side??? and is that the side it allways wants to drift to in flight??? You never did say............ Could be way out of balance left to right, if you know what I am getting at........... possibly adding weight at the wingtip on the cg line might help with that if you are way out of side to side balance...... Just some thoughts, Captain Crash...
