Well, I tried just about everything I could within reason to tame this bird and it's bad habits. I added 14oz of weight to the engine mount which brought the C of G to 90mm from the leading edge. Flew the plane and the elevator performance was worse! In fact with full up at the recommended 25mm of throw, it could barely pull the nose up at all. Inverted took a bunch of down to hold level....obviously nose heavy to the extreme! I removed the weights and flew again. Inverted flight was good with little input needed, but still problem with an inside loop. Pull up to hard, and it's like you intended to do "the wall" instead of a tight loop. Tried doing some outside loops and it performed them well. To me, this indicates that for sure, the stab and elevator is covered up by the wing when the nose is raised to about 25 degrees or so. So how in the heck are you supposed to fly this thing, much less fix it?

I knew this plane was toast sooner or later. It came sooner than I intended when I did some fairly tight "bank and yanks", and it pulled one of it's snaps, went into a roll and never recovered.........

I don't think I'll miss it much. Time to move on.

I certainly wish you better luck with yours than I had.
