Default RE: Cap - Grrrrr

OK I have taken pics to show you... unfortunately they are not the clearest but you get the idea.

Currently I am just a tad over 3.75" from leading edge of CG.

YOu can see in the pics the amount of EL needed to fly level.

I have just under 1/4" of right thrust in it and about 1/8" up. It still requires rudder correction on uplines. When flying at half throttle if I cut the throttle it goes forward and slowly fades off. It might actually not fade off as quick as it should.. with the amount of down you would think it would drop a lot quicker. when I get on the throttle it moves straight ahead not up or down.

Downlines it pulls to the canopy and that was actually into the wind so it's pulling pretty good.


I have started down the trimming sheet however it's hard to do consideirng how much down I am starting with... I am kind of focused on trying to get taken care of before I go any further. I have had the CG from 3.5" - 4.25" trying to see if that would fix it.
