RE: Climb on speed change
I really do appreciate all of the responses to my initial post. As I stated, all of the reports from other models have commented on this climb with power attribute which we all agree will happen especially with a high wing plane with and flat bottom wing that is trimmed for straight and level flight at medium cruise speed. I had this issue with my trainer and many other trainers that I instructed students to fly with. When I wanted to fly faster than the normal cruise wpeed, I just held in some down elevator OR put in a couple of clicks of down trim on the transmitter.
I consider myself an intermediate flyer with good skills. I will probably do a little bit of the suggested solutions to get the plane to fly well in a range of speeds around the medium cruise range (CG location and motor thrust adjustments). For speeds above and below that, I will just use the elevator for short periods and use the transmitter trim for longer durations at high speeds.
Thanks to all for your help. Great on-line community here!
