Hey guys,

I have a strange problem with my JKA P-51. Last time I wrote about it, people started chiming in with their experiences with their P-47's, but please keep in mind this is a P-51. Thanks

She balances at the recommended point extremely nose-heavy (more so than Jamie Farr).

BUT, she flies tail-heavy.

Weird. I checked the horizontal stab and wing incidences by eyeball, and both sit as they should. The wing is in the saddle properly, and the stab sits on the flattened area on the fuse tail. If anything, the wing and stab leading edges are slightly higher than the trailing edges (engineered that way I suppose)...so I don't think she should want to keep pointing her nose up.

I had to dial in a ridiculous amount of down elevator to get her to fly right...but now with all that wind resistance in the tail, she does not fly very fast.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
