Thank you WB, did you see the video on the previous page. It was a hoot, doing a maiden before wanting to.

There was a lot of ground work not shown and that particular pass was suppose to be a "lift the tail" and see how it tracks pass. When it lifted my heart sank and my hands turned into a jack hammer on the sticks. As it started to climb and bank all I could think was "it is climbing and not stalling just let it be" and it just kept going. Thank god!

Thank you to everyone for their kind words. This was truly a great build of a wonderful aircraft.
I have a question for those in the know. I had to add about 4° on down elevator which is confusing to me as the model is nose heavy. The stab is a set 2°, the wings are set by the designer and should be 1-1/2° but can be shimmed if need be, there is no down or right thrust on engine. That last one is what I'm thinking of, maybe need some down. Any and all thoughts are welcome as to why the down trim?

Try moderate speed passes with and without power applied and note the difference. You may need a touch of down thrust.
