EFLITE TRIBUTE FLIGHT PROBLEMS!
 

I just finished the first flight of my tribute and i had some unexpected results. The controls felt good but it flew nose high at all speeds. CG is dead on acording to the instuctions. Anybody have any ideas to share i could sure use them! thanks.

With the flat plate airfoil, it will tend to fly a little nose high. The lift is completely dependent on angle of attack.

How nose high is it really flying?

thank you for your reply. Its nose high at about 6degrees or so. I also wasn't flying that fast either. It kind of looked like I had flaps down. Weather permitting I will try to fly Wednesday.
thanks again

Inverted flight will tell you if the CG is off. If you need a bunch of down elevator, you're nose heavy. I suspect you may be a little nose heavy after mulling it over in the back of my head for a day...

Move your battery more forward. I balance mind by putting a finger on either side of the fus on the front spar, and have it a little more nose heavy and it flys great.:D
