I flew the TopCap that was given to me from WOW-OOPS Saturday. What a blast!!! Anyway, it was really tail heavy - it climbed pretty good inverted and it ballooned really bad on landing. It was pretty hard to set down, but it flew slow really nice. Also, it was quite the tumbler. I think with a little more elev. throw I will be able to waterfall all day long. Anyway, I think I should move the engine forward a bit, but I don't want to shoot this nice tumbling ability down the crapper. WOW-OOPS says keep the CG where it is, he liked seeing it flop all over the sky. What do you think? Thanks!

I'm at about 5 1/2", but that may be relative because the fuse has a large scab on it where the guy before WOW-OOPS had a repair. I still have to weigh it. With the repairs, I bet I am getting close to 5 LBS. Oh, it was originally built from a kit.
Chuck,
Did you like flying it the tail heavy way or did you change it?
