Formosa trimming question
Hi Guys,
I have had several flights with a brushless setup for my Formosa and the plane flys very good . One thing that I have noticed is to fly straight and level I had to trim the elevator to about 3 degrees up. Is that normal with this plane? I checked the incidence between the main wing and stab, it seems to be close to zero. I put some extra down-thrust on the motor, could this be the problem? Anybody having this condition with this plane?
Regards,
Frank

I had to move the CG back farther than the instructions suggested range...this eliminated the same problem for me.
Still flies well, and lands like a feather. It's just much better in the air.
