Yea, at the Auburn contest, Alan and Paul told me what I already knew. The thing was hinged too closely. Has 12 degrees of deflection. Not enough, obviously. Now has about 38 degrees at full tilt. And no, I doubt I'll use more that 20-25 degrees. And the controls are much more free. Should fix the issue.
An no, it's not nose heavy. It was tail heavy and a bit squirrelly. Added nose weight and the touchiness went away but then it wouldn't turn. So, now it will turn. I hope, anyway.
