I'll keep moving the CG back untill I get it where I like it. I'm in no hurry. I generally like the CG to be at the spot where it flies hands off upright or inverted. Trust me, with all that fuel in the nose the CG is moved forward quite a bit. There are quite a few other tweaks I need to look at as well before I get too hasty, but I feel like a kid in a candy store right now. If it can do all those things I described in a condition that "feels" nose heavy to me... my god... what will it do when I get it where I like it Right now the elevator throw is around 45 degrees (I can add more and probably will). Extreme? You could say that

Outstanding plane Kevin. If the reaction I got on my first trip out to the field is any indication of the interest this plane is generating, you had better get those gear ready
