How it feels is really a result of where the CG is AND how much elevator movement winds up in your particular model. That is, if the CG is in the safe range and the elevator throws are not more than what's suggested in the instructions.

If the CG is toward the rear and the elevator throws happened to wind up less than suggested that model will often feel just like one that had the CG at the front of the range and the throws greater than needed. Give you an idea of how they work? The two go together.

Now, everyone is going to start yelling about noseheavy flies lousy but tailheavy flies only once etc etc etc. And they're right.

But experienced mfg's know their buyers. And they suggest a very tight CG range (like ONE place, so much for range) and very safe throws.

If this thread stays on the front page long enough, you should get the most valuable advice possible. Someone who has flown that sucker will wade in and tell you what his did. And that will beat all the theory you get into a puddle.
