Default RE: Modeltech Magic questions

Well I flew the magic for the first time yesterday and flying buddy Frank Comer just let me borrow his stock muffler for the TT46 engine( thanks again Frank !! )... more than enough engine for this plane and it will go out of sight in a hurry if you want it to!! [sm=lol.gif]
A question please: I cant get it to flatten out while doing flat spins. I flew it with the stock cg with no weight added to the rear on the first couple of flights but added a 1/2 oz weight to the rear and it seemed to fly a little better. Pointing the plane straight down doesnt make the plane pitch out or tuck in, that may suggest an off cg, so you think I may need to add a little more weight to the rear to get it to flatten the spins out, maybe a 1/2 oz at a time? Also, Im not sure I have enought elevator travel, I mean its moving up and down a pretty good bit, but I think I may need a tad more ( due to the elevator servo arm arangement on pull-pull cable,.. I may need a shorter servo arm to get the pull-pull cable more in alignment). I gots TONS of rudder and ailerons movement though[sm=thumbs_up.gif] !!!
Thanks,... its a hoot to fly this plane... as stated in an earlier post... I just need to get used to it now since I cant even spell 3D yet ,lol
