Default elevator offset, cg issue?

I've just got round to powering up my black horse decathlon after it's dead stick the wrong side of the tree line and noticed it has around 10ยบ of up elevator, the trim on the Tx says the same so it's not a mechanical fault because of the crash.

There are 2 cg's listed in the manual, one with the standard diagram saying 100mm, and in the text it says 90mm. I set it to 95mm so that should be alright, certainly not enough to cause the elevator offset. I've had a look at the manual for the seagull decathlon which is a very similar plane and it has the cg at 80-90mm! [X(]


Any ideas what could be the cause? the only thing i could think of is the cg, but, if you believe the manual it's as good as spot on, and if you go by the seagull manual it's too far back [:'(]


so confused hehe
