RE: elevator offset, cg issue?
how does it fly inverted...that is how much down elevator to maintain straight and level.
The amount of elevator trim carried is usually a result of wing incidence...that is you need to increase it when you have "up" elevator.
Where do the instructions tell you to place the CG?
Wing incidence first THEN CG.
Only then move the CG a slight amount at a time.
