Default Gp Giles 202 1/4 Scale, Upthrust Problem!!!!

Scott no offense taken, i did not think you were saying it to be a smart alleck.. Well i flew it yesterday with the 1/2 degree down ,in ailerons and stab, and it has definitely got to be an incidence problem, as i now had to add 6 clicks of UP digital trim,which is not all too bad, as the bird seems to be flying much better as i am getting it "dialed in". i did take it up high and dive it straight down,(no power) she is slightly pulling towards the wheels. (did it three consecutive times with same results.)
I took the 1-1/2 degrees down thrust out of engine, and i now have it at 1/2 degree UP thrust. i am going to see if that makes any difference, and will also shim the rear of the wing, (which might accomplish the same thing as lowering the ailerons)
Thanks again for your comments, and you too wildthing....
