RE: Does your WH edge 540 require up elevator to fly level?
Nonstoprc...
Static CG checks are done typically without fuel, as most instruction state.
Though the fuel is not far from the CG location, it will make a difference, If
it's a 16oz tank, that's one whole pound.
You didn't say what motor you are using or where you have your radio gear
located. I'd say to move the CG back the recommended 1.4" and try it there.
When your CG is right, the elevators will line up correctly.
You might also check your firewall for corect vertical position. Tom's planes
are right on, normally, but it doesn't hurt to make sure.
