There really isn't any "moving the cg back a little" on a Sky Fly. It's a stick-and-pod bodied electric similar in design to many of the Hobbyzone planes. It has small control surfaces with limited movement, and turning quickly just isn't in the cards.

timnevan hasn't flown anything particularly advanced yet, bigtim, so a Nexstar would be a big step up for him if he decided to try glow powered aircraft. His Sky Fly is a basic 3-channel electric park flyer and the Aero Aces are 2-channel toys (albeit very fun 2-channel toys).

timnevan also hasn't describe any previous projects that required building or assembly of any significance. His Aero Aces were ready to fly once the batteries were installed in the transmitter and the aircraft was charged. The Sky Fly only required him to attach the wing to the fuselage via rubber bands and installing the flight pack battery after charging it up on the included charger unit.

timnevan hasn't asked for a building project or a glow aircraft, he just wants a more manuverable park flyer that will still be easy for him to fly:

The Slo-V by Parkzone would provide him with manuverable slow flight in a ready-to-fly package requiring no more assembly than his Sky Fly did. While it would be nice to find a plane with similar flight characteristics that could fly in a strong breeze, based on timnevan's description the Slo-V pretty much offers him everything he wants.
