Default DP Ultimate 40

Hi Guys,

This is the firs time I have started a post in RCU, so please forgive me if I do something wrong.
It all about the Dave Patrick Ultimate 40 that I have had lying in the box for almost 2 years now.

I maidend it yesterday and the following issues arose, that I am hoping to find answers for.

Here's the setup:
JBA 56AR 2 stroke (sweetest Engine I have ever owned, that is saying allot considering I distribute ASP/Magnum in Namibia)
5X Hitec 225MG servos
AAA 650mAh Battery (very light)
setup as per instructions.

The Plane tracked straight and lifted of after I pulled back considerably. I had to trim up about 4 clicks (probably Nose Heavy), no other trim needed.
It flies Heavy, I could slow it right down to walking pace without it stalling or dropping a Wing, but it flies heavy for some reason.

Inverted required almost 3/4 forward stick (again nose heavy) It is just not as responsive as I thought it would be??? It snaps very nice and rolls are fast and axial especially on high rates.

Could the Heavy feeling come only from the fact that it is nose heavy or am I only spoiled by flying things like the Twist 40 and Katana GS

any help appreciated

regards
