Hey Mike
Is your PT 40 balanced fairly nose heavy?
Mine needed quiet abit of lead to make it "slightly nose heavy, but on its maiden flight the nose shot straight up after rotation, giving the test pilot a bit of a scare, when he got it back on the ground he made me take all the lead off, leaving it very nose heavy. required more runway to takeoff but flew great.
Was just curious. This plane has to be the most nose heavy plane I have ever built and/or setup.
I balanced the Tiger the same way (slight nose down@CG point) and it flew like a dream. My instructor told me "those big flat bottom wings love nose weight".
Oh well, glad you got her up and everything went good.
Congrates!!
