Hi ffdq
I had a similar experience. Even though my CG is at 125 mm and Gear Down the plane ballooned on me. Had to cut power just above half (O.S. 120 pumped with a 15x8 prop). Needed plenty of down elevator trim to just get leveled flight. I did not have any play in the tail. Also had some scary pitch changes...without me fiddling with the elevator. ??
Does anybody have the correct incidents for Wing / Elevator ?
Anybody any idea ?
Pete
