Hi Dave,

Thanks for watching and for the tip.

You have a very accurate vision. You must be right, I need do add more down thrust. I have 6 degrees, but will change to 8 degrees. Thanks to remember me that. I was so anxious and with so much adrenalin that I forgot some plane behaviour to be corrected. It was my maiden on jets too.

Its CG is also behind the manual position. It´s 355 mm from leading edge with only UAT filled. I felt its elevator too sensitive.

Now it will go back to the bench and I will do the following changes:

1) More down thrust;
2) Bring CG forward to 330mm;
3) Install wheel brakes;
4) Change fuel tank from 2L to 1.5L coke pet. I flew 5 minutes with 2L pet and landed with a little more than half tank.

Thanks

Ricardo
