Im flying a Cap 231 40 size with a 61 FX, When flying at 1/2 throttle, It needs a no trim on the elev. When I cut the throttle the nose drops, When I apply throttle it climbs! Is this normal for a Cap or does down thrust need to be applied?????????
Any info is appreciated!!!!! Jumper

Sounds like to much up thrust. You could try putting a washer under both sides of the engine mount on top. Then fly it trim it out and see if it still does it. If not as bad then put another washer behind each side.
