Default 35% Carden Cap Landing Characteristics !?!?

Alch Burner, I've got a question for you:

When you fly from left to right (1/2 to 3/4 throttle) then chop to throttle to idle - does it balloon then?

If so, you have the same problem I had with a Lanier Cap - too much down thrust in engine. Down thrust will pull your plane down, so you have to give a slight up adjustment with elevator trim. Then when you cut the engine, plane balloons. You'll see the most dramatic effect when landing.
