Default Hanger 9 Edge 540 balance

Pitch up on landing:

I happen to be reworking mine right now. At first I was happy with 4-1/12", because of the way it flew and I just figured the landing problem was my own fault, but I have flown it enough and tried various other gimmicks (more expo, reflex etc. etc.) to realise it is not just me.
I would have tried the new balance point this morning but as I was cleaning the plane I discovered, there were three aileron hinges broken. The hinges are the ones supplied with the kit and have not been abused nor did I ever have any flutter to cause this.
If you used the supplied hinges, PLEASE check them. If the hinge gaps had not been sealed, that aileron would have pulled off, don't ask me why I didn't notice anything before hand. I did however think I made kind of a sloppy turn to final, this could have been when they let go.
