Default FOCUS Trimming Question - need experienced help

Howdy Keith - how's the Aries coming?

It turns out that I started with the CG where it should be and I moved it back (2 oz of weight in the tail). As a result it will fly nearly hands off inverted - exactly the opposite of what would seem to cause my problem, and the elevator is neutral in level flight. I'm going to check out the other issues and then bring the wing back to "zero."

I've been trying to neutralize the ailerons by moving the right wing leading edge down more than the left when I make adjustments, but I'm not there yet. I've never had wing adjusters before and I guess I'm a little surprised at how little effect they seem to have on things. I think I'll mark the leading and trailing edges and fuselage to see how much they're actually moving as I make adjustments.

Thanks
