This up and down thrust is a new term to me but I understand the concept. That seem to me that putting a little down thrust would probably do the trick. It makes sense. Gary, you asked how it handled with the throttle cut and it glides nicely and it does fly okay at very slow speeds just as soon as i get on the throttle the nose shoots right up. Ironically, landing is the easiest part of flying this plane as it is set up now . As far as moving the wing forward I will try it but I would think that would make it more tail heavy. I try to think of CG as a teeter toter. If I have a teeter toter balanced perfectly and move the balance point to one side the side I moved it to would go up and the side I moved it away from would go down but I'll give it a shot.
