<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">CG appears to be very close. It holds a 45 degree upline straight and needs a touch of elevator to start the pull through the 1/2 Reverse Cuban 8. Inverted flight only requires a touch of down elevator.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My tank location was modified from the intended location and is on CG, to be read, "The front of the fuel tank is about 1/4 inch forward of the leading edge. I have mounted a YS 63 and has unlimited vertical after 4 tanks of fuel. CG is currently located at 4" back from the LE per the instructions (aft range). This tank location result in outstanding ground handling on grass. Zero tendency to nose over, not even close...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The problem is in level flight it pitches to the belly with rudder input. Made for an interesting landing when I corrected with a touch of rudder for cross wind. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is this an incidence problem? I haven't tried a power off dive yet to check it out due to time. What else could I look for?</FONT></P>
