Default RE: inability to spin, CG problem?

In other words, if you can't stall the wing it's because the elevator isn't effective enough to stall the wing, and to get it effective enough you can increase it's movement. Sometimes just moving the CG does the same thing, make the elevator more effective. Sometimes the CG way forward is why it's not effective enough. Sometimes it's because it isn't deflecting enough. Sometimes it's both.

the elevator is not sensitive at this point, should i continue to remove nose wieght?
The suggested elevator throw for today's ARF Skybolt spins the two that fly around here and they both have the CG aft the suggested location.
