Dave,
Thanks for the update. I moved the CG back to 290mm and I wanted to leave the elevators at 55mm. To get any more I was going to have to shave the side of the fuse. It sounds like 55 will be just fine. I also set up my flaps as you did.
I fired her up and taxied her down my street! Nothing like the neighbors looking at you with the mixed *** and COOL Looks!!
I was also delighted to find that the elevators did not get that hot at low to medium throttle. I only "burped" her to full throttle for a second as I didn't want to piss off my neighbors too much!!

Can't wait to maiden!!
Raf
