It appears to have been an issue with the elevator servo setup and sub trim.Thanks Mike.
I did cut a slot for the battery based on the position in the first photo.
I've attached two more photos to show the component positioning and balance points. I am using the th power combo.
I must be overlooking something. I'm starting to wonder if the cg in the manual assumes the landing gear is attached.

Thanks.Suggest you check the servo
If the foam is flexing or the glue is not sufficient, you will have strange problems with centering and unequal travel.
Easy to fix, just glue a bit more thoroughly.
Pls tell what you decide
