Default RE: U-2 landing problems

Thanks! The CG will move foreward on the next flight with a corresponding increase in elevator throw. It's tough to dial in an airplane when you have to repair it after every flight.. I wouldn't have selected that airfoil either. I bought the kit from Werner Kranz in Germany. It's all molded glass. It came with a Russian three-view with an X over the approximate CG location in the plain view. Even that was wrong.. What's really odd is the horizontal stabs are completely symetrical.
