Thanx so far guys.

AAM, the reason is I want to compete in IMAC with a plane that flies like a Pattern Plane. Before the laughs come out, yes, I have had an Aeroworks 37% Extra that was dialed in almost identical to my Olympian(at the time) Straight down lines, simply flew straight in every aspect. The stabs are attached with blind nuts that are not accessible (read I''m not willing to dig into the fuse.)

Will try the CG thing first although it balanced prior to flying slightly nose heavy with empty fuel tank. I have been wrong here before:. I can change the incidence on the wing but have to make sure I do it correctly.

The puzzling thing is with an fair amount of down trim, still pulling to the canopy on downlines. That is why I am thinking wing incidence problems. If I add down thrust to the engine, that would nuetralize the elevator, this would only increase the amount of pull to canopy on downlines, if I add Up thrust to the engine it would require more down elevator trim for level flight, which in itself may help the downlines. Simply need about 3 days of decent weather to work on it.

Any other ideas/notions welcome.
