Default CG Sukhoi- beautiful plane.. need help!

I have wing mounted gear. 50+ flights with no problem. I beefed up the plate mounting with many bass blocks. I also glassed the center of the wing 6 inches wide with a double layer of glass around the gear plate. The gear is attached to the plate with four 1/4-20 nylon screws. I carry the plane around by the gear leg. I fly off a semi-hard surface.

I agree with the flight habits. Very nice and easy plane to fly. It is very light for it's size. The only challenge I have is keeping it straight with the rudder during the humpty bump and shark tooth (IMAC basic). This airplane hardly takes any power to fly flat and level. I often put around doing slow-low snaps. One of my favorites is 1-1/2 snap to vertical at less than 1/2 throttle.
