Hi Stomper:

Thanks for the information. Yep, Stan's fuel seems to work well for sure. My aresti weighs about 5 3/4 lbs.

The CG is at 3 3/4" and is seems ok. The snap rolls are very snappy and seems to be on the verge of a tail heavy condition.

That's why I am sort of leary on adding or moving weight to the tail.

Perhaps it's just the way the plane flys.

Might add a deg or two of downtrust and retry inverted flight.

Again, while inverted I need a bunch of down elevator to keep level.

Where is your CG set at on your aresti? Also, do you think I can really get this CG back to 4"??

The Aresti is in my trailer, I'll get it out and check that for you. It's been raining alot the past few days so give me a day or two. I know when my plane is inverted it does not need much elevator input but I'll check the CG.
