OK, thanks, Bob. Now do you think this holds when I have the spoilerons mixed into down elevator? I have the spoilerons and flaps mixed into elevator so that at 1/2 throttle she stays level. The elevator mixes are typical- Flaps need up elevator and Spoilerons need down- just a tad, like 2-3mm. So I have that tad of down with spoilerons and a tad of up with flaps. So next, I'll try neutral when it isn't windy and the tad of down. I just hate down elevator when landing... feels wrong! My first attempts at landing this were on puffy tumbling crosswind days so Idid the spoilers so that I could land faster and avoid getting rolled by the crosswind gusts. The next time out it was even windier, so I upped the spoilerons and readjusted the elevator mix. I have now been flying with this cowpath setup for a gallon or so. Maybe its time to go back to neutral landings on a calm or down the runway breeze day.

I put my cowl on, hoping the extra frontal are would get it to climb in Knife Edge.The cowl andspinnerminus mybrassHigleyhub made it 3oz heavier in the nose, so I moved the battery back sothat the CGis at 125mm. Still no climb in KE but she holds it better now. I'm flying at 6# 14 oz dry, Saito 91 w/APC 16 x 4W prop- which climbs out of sight in hover, but won't punch out of hover. Do you think I should go further with the CG for KE or get more pitch in the prop? I picked up a 15 x 6 Zinger which this engine loved for juuuust hovering a 10# model, but that's 2 oz lighter than the APC which is probably going to put me back to 130mm. To rebalance or not to rebalance- that is the question (Hamlet).
