Default RE: WH 260 Help

I was very disappointed today. I finally got a chance to fly the 260 after moving the CG back to 4 inches. There was absolutely no change in the amount of trim required to to fly level. I have 10 clicks of up trim to hold the nose. The airplane did fly better. More responsive on the controls. I am going to get an incidence meter and check the wing and horizontal. Anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm surprised there wasn't at least some change. I would look at the incidences on the wing panels and horiz stabs. Does the nose drop like a rock when inverted if you don't feed in lots of down elevator?

It is hard to understand how that could be off due to the laser cut kits these days.
I've had the same thought before about ARFs by various manufacturers. In an RCU thread for a popular ARF that is touted at being at the top of the heap, some posters have said their horiz stabs' incidences are not the same on each side, and that in some cases the horiz stabs are off by 2*. How can that happen when these things are jig-built??
