Default Climb's when I chop power

2* upthrust worked on the Aeroworks Edge eh? I know that my cg is actually at the "Noseheavy" end of the range for my Lanier. I checked relative incidence (don't have any datum) on the surfaces and firewall before I glued the stab last year. I don't remember what I came up with, but they were reasonably decent. Flew it once last year and it ballooned, so I put a little less than 2* (I do mean positive, above zero),upthrust in the mount. Got my first chance to fly it again this year and it still balloons quite a bit. I just ordered a new incidence meter today, and we'll check this out again before the weekend. I'd be surprised if the correction would be 3* of upthrust, that would be strange. I guess I could mix it out, but that would get tough in other areas, knifedge, spin entry etc

Thanx guy's
