Default RE: Trimming and CG

After reading an article im Model Airplane News many years ago, I did some exprimenting with a roll of solder and one of my free flights. As it was trimmed it climbed in a nice near vertical spiral. As I started adding solder around the tail, the climb got flatter and flatter. I added solder until I got it to fly level under power. I did not add enough solder to make it dive.
