Safebet: Yup I lowered the nose gear another 1/4" and took 1 1/2 OZ ( weight now down to 6.1 lbs) out of the nose that fixed the problem ..lifts off with a touch of the elevator and when I fly up line and roll inverted it will stay inverted with just a touch of down ..two problems fixed ... more test flight to come.

I also like the Flutz gear ..the Contender is the only plane I have with out one ..may change over in the fall
