I wnt 2 fly

My Feedback: (1)

Hi I have the Aeroworks prox260 .60-.90 powered by a DLE 20. It flys wonderfully except when the engine is at idle the nose floats up. This causes me to have a very hard time landing. Has anyone else had this problem and is there any way to fix it?

typical if its a tailheavy, will pitch and drag tail in on landing, nearing stall all the time.
Fly it in and land and accept it as is, or move CG forward slightly, but you will loose some 3D and harrier type authority.

That is the nature of the beast

Agreed this is CG related. I had a Katana that was a bear to land but was not near as agile with the CG forward. I had to learn to land it with throttle. Once it was set on final with a high idle and about 50' up I never touched the elev. If it needed some up I just did a slight increase in throttle. If it needed to be lower I took a click out of the throttle. This goes against your natural instinct and takes a little practice, but it will keep you from flaring up at the wrong time and stalling the plane at 5'.

there was a change to the CG from the manual, they state 5 inches for your model.

Thanks I will try moving the cg forward. I did not think that was the problem because the cg was right on as per the manuel but I had not been notified of the change.
