Default RE: Positive wing incidence

imma join in the hyjacking of the thread as well..

CA Models Genesis w/ 170DZ

left rudder KE pulls to the belly just barely
Right rudder KE pulls the canopy alot
Up and Downlines both pull to the canopy enough so much that it will practically do the 2nd corner of a square loop on its own.

Wing Incidence is set at .5 degree positive, stabs at Zero
CG set around 1/2" forward of the wing tube. (CG is called for .63" ahead of the wingtube)

2nd flight i added 2oz of lead to the nose, which helped the Left KE a good bit, so i added another 1oz to the nose which helped as well. I've been debating on if i should add another once of weight to the nose and then more positive incidence to the wings to help out the vertical lines, but kinda stumped.. suggestions?
