Thanks for the input,
I think you are right about re-triming. With the control sufaces at neutral I have to fly it at a little less than 1/2 throtle to stay level. As soon as I increase throtle past 1/2 it starts to climb. The CG and engine thrust angles are at Hangar - 9 specs. My runway is about 200 feet. I raised the trailing edge of the wing 1/16" and it improved slightly.
Ah! Aren't the effects of a flat bottom wing great! Set you idle speed so that your plane just barely rolls on a smooth surface. Then try giving a couple of "down" trim clicks (towards the top of the radio) just before you turn to land. And, as you know, always landing into the wind.

Happy Landings!
