All of my questions were not answered with a previous post, so here goes again....

Have an Aresti 40 with a Saito 72 up front.
15% S&W Fuel.

The plane is stock except for the lighter Dave Brown engine mount.

Plane is supposed to be balanced at 3-3/4. I cannot take off with this balance and moved the CG aft about 1/4" from what the plan recommends. This was balanced inverted and measured along the fuse.

Here are my questions:

Is the Aresti supposed to balanced UPRIGHT or INVERTED?????

When flying inverted I need about 1/2 stick down pressure on elevator low rates to keep the nose up. It really wants to come down (inverted towards the ground) in a hurry inverted. Plane has recommended throws all around.

Also, the plane seems to land very hot and takes awhile to bleed off it's speed.

Was thinking about adding tail weight or Downthrust in the engine mount???

Or is there something else I should be looking at? Such as wing incidence etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
