cessna 195 balance problem
I just completed my Cessna 195.Balanced it per the manual with THE CG BUDDY provided by AW.First shot at balancing showed a severe nose heavy plane.I moved the batteries to the rear till the plane was level.Was pleased till the test flight today.The plane lifted right off and went straight up.With help I got down trim [1/4"-3/8"] on the elevator and its a bit was better.Very touchy on the elevator.i got it landed with no damage.I did do another flight and noticed with a FULL tank of fuel I had to re-trim.Question is,the 5 5/8" back from the leading edge CG point accurate? On my DX 18,it shows +42 on the DOWN TRIM GRAPH.IT ALSO SHOWS -40 ON THE LEFT AILERON TRIM.THAT WILL BE THE NEXT QUESTION.What goes here? everything by the manual and it flies like crap.I'm just glad I didn't crash it.Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
