Hey trickpony, read your story with interest. I maidened my saratoga about a week ago and was flying from grass.  It was pretty well clipped, not perfect but should have been fine. The first little burst of throttle saw it nose straight over. Hmm I thought.  I found a level almost grassless patch as a runway and sent her up. After a little trimming she flew quite well. The Evo 46 I have in it had heaps of power for the plane and as in gabarbers video I put it through its paces.<div>Landing was not as gentle as his was but okay, BUT, nosed over for 2 out of three landings and stalled the motor each time. I was surprised how much weight the fuel added to the front of the plane. Anyway, it balances as per the book and better than a lot of planes Ive built. </div><div>I figured it shoulden't be doing this and thought I might check out the forums to see if Im alone.</div><div>
</div><div>Anyway, I have added 10 grams of weight to the tail and will see if that helps. I noticed when Gabarber came if for a landing the tail of his plane sat pretty low. Maybe his plane is a little tail heavy ???</div>
