Where do i want my CG? Do I want it right at where the mfg. says to have it? or do i try and move it towards the rear?

When you talk about servo mixing...which channels would i want to eventually mix?

Would a lighter landing gear setup be somthing worth having....like maybe carbon fiber vs. the aluminum?

Thanks again...

It's all test and tune. Fly the plane, throw it into a hover. Do you have to fight the plane? If so, start moving the CG back to where it becomes easier. Make sure you have all you can get on the throws like was stated before. Mixing is generaly done for knife edge. Don't bother with that until you have the CG set as it will effect the knife edge coupling. Don't worry about lighter gear for now.
Keep in mind - should you decide to move cg back - do so in very small increments. A tail heavy plane is harder to control, especially if you are not used to it.
