RE: engine and prop
I have flown this plane several times most of the time there has been a head wind but the plane still came in hot. Eng idles at 2050 rpm. I'm in the process of rebalancing it manual has a range of about 7/8 of an inch and I'm at the front edge of that so I'm moving the CG back about 1/4 inch and will try flying again. The more I think of it that must be the problem just plain to nose heavy. I will let you know what happens
