A while back I asked for opinions why this Byron GeeBee was climbing at full throttle and diving at low throttle settings. Well, I blocked it up and checked all the incidences and the engine thrust line. Now being a FG fuse with the horizontal stab and wing fairing molded right in, you'd think with a Byron kit there would be no problems.... Well I have -1 on the horizontal stab, +3 on the wings and 3 degrees of down thrust! The down thrust is fine but the others make for one crazy looping plane. It's possible I could have messed up the H stab maybe a degree but the wings are impossible to mess up the incidence. This is my first plane I've build that didn't fly perfectly strait on it's first flight. That's because I always check this kind of stuff. Thinking Byron had taken care of it for me was a mistake, but others that reviewed the kit said it had no bad habits (scared of losing a advertising account?). Any thoughts, maybe I should at least make the horizontal stab +1?

Thanks,

No need. Just do the dive test bit to see how far back you can move the CG safely and add downthrust. Just live with the angled elevator. For showing it off (Byron GeeBee's are the hit of any show) just hold up elevator to level it and turn off the reciever in that position or gently ease the elevator servo with some force.
