SB 13,
On knife edge I had noticed that the plane did roll a little at first as well as a slight pull toward the canopy. I did notice in a hover that one of the wings (can't remember which one right now and the wings are locked up in the truck ready for the morning fly) kept on droping. After adding about 1 ounce of lead and retrimming I haven't notice it rolling andy more. Sometimes it's hard to tell because I been battaling with the breeze from Lake Michigan. I haven't dialed anything out on the radio yet because I plan to lighten the plane and shift a lot of stuff around and possibly try the 5 1/4" CG just to see what it will do. Changing the CG a little could eliminate even more of the pull toward the canopy. Right now I'm paying more attention to how the engine is running etc. It has never dead sticked on me or even came close to it. Actually I am very pleased with everything but like Siversurfer said it will take time to really get it dialed in especially since I never tried to get a plane to fly as good as I want this one to fly......Of course landings are a blast because everyone expects you to come barreling down the runway and are surprised to see it float in like a trainer......
