Dennis,
That looks pretty good. Glad you found the trim problem. That must have felt pretty weird the way you had it set up originally. I bet it flies a lot better now. When you get everything right you should need ony a slight amount of rudder - (up) elevator mix to clean up the knife edge. Don't try to fix it all with the C.G. Depending on how much the plane weighs, you may need a little more or a little less incidence in the wing to fine tune your uplines and downlines. I was able to get rid of any pull to the canopy on uplines and downlines with just a little more positive in the wing. My plane weighs 10 lbs, 6.9 oz. YMMV.
