Tim,
Mine pitches towards the belly in knife edge also. I've fussed with the CG (moving it forward) and it helped a bit, but it's still there. For the amount of rudder needed on the knife edge, the elevator deflection is very slight. At full rudder throw, the elevator moves about 3/32". Mine is snapping and spinning just fine now, still not a pretty as the Angel's Shadow, but very crisp and getting more predicable for me.

I agree the handling of the plane in heavy wind is exceptional. It stays pretty darn straight is a 15 mph crosswind with little effort.

I "tried" the new FAi sequences this weekend and IT does all the maneuvers with ease. the trick is getting my brain to process adding power when I'm headed straight towrds the ground in a knife edge loop. That's a little counter intuitive.

It sure looks nice in the air though. Sweet.

Joe
