Bob or Anyone:

Put 5 flights on Venus II on Sat. Took nearly all elevator up trim available for level trimmed flight. About 1/8". Ailerons took a couple of clicks. CG was at 6 1/4", a little forward. Did not think that was enough to explain all the elevator trim required, so checked the engine up/down thrust. Up/down thrust was neutral...zero. Tower does not give a up/down thrust value in the Venus II technical data table. Anyone have down thrust issues or tried flying with some? First step will be to move CG back. some.
