Default Need help with a trim issue on my Nuance

Hey guys I am having a small trim problem with my Nuance and need some help figuring out a cure. The plane fly's extremely well but I noticed on my up lines the tail don't stay under the plane at all times. The first maneuver of the Masters pattern the Half Clover with 2/4 up is where I notice it the most. Everything is good until I do the 2 of 4. During the 2/4 the tail of the plane slide out and is putting my off course. It would require up elevator to put the tail back into a more vertical position. It seems to happen when I apply the ailerons. I've been very careful not to cross control inadvertently. Its definitely the plane.

Thanks Evan

My plane has similar problem when doing a roll in a vertical maneuver. I'm thinking our problems may be related to aileron differential.

I would check the Nuance build thread and see if guys are finding they need more positive wing incidence. It could be a case of aft CG compensating to compensate. It could be something else, that's the first thing that comes to mind though.

I am running the factory incidence setting and flying with batteries about 2 inches forward of the wing tube. I don't know the precise cg location.

Unfortunately I have no wing adjusters.

thanks for the tips

Having put hundreds of flights on multiple Nuances. You need to add positive incidence and a slight amount of down thrust. Adding the adjusters isn't difficult and it helps significantly.
