Default RE: Incidence Problem?

Hi John,
Thanks for the information. This is my second of the Tiger 2 model - the first I started flying back at the end of March with too many flights on it to count.
Due to some strange glitching the first crashed. Instead of rebuilding I purchase a new one but kept the same wing from the first which had zero damage to it. I am not making a transition from a high wing trainer.

I know how the last one flew and I am comparing the flight characterstics of this one to the first. It didn't need much elevator inverted but it still did not behave like this one. Also, the stall in an inverted 45 degree climb was not apparent in the first model. It would start a nice half loop when chopping the throttle.

I will check the CG again in the exact middle of the CG range and balance it there. It is currently balanced toward the rear of the CG however so was the original model with no ill characteristics.
