My Ringmaster is pretty much where I need it to be, but it needs a bit more control sensitivity. It just feels "heavy" on the controls and doesn't turn tight as easily as I would like.. (The control linkage is so free of drag that the elevator flops down from its own weight, so that isn't a problem source)
How do I figure out the right combination of moving the CG aft versus adding a bit of line spacing at the handle, or even moving the pushrod in on the elevator control horn?

Is there a logical way to approach this, or do I just start flailing away in the dark and hope to hit the magic set of adjustments.

There are at leasr 4 variables to deal with here, and a logical approach would be wonderful!!!!
I suspect that the control horn is OK, since it can throw farther than I should ever need.

Just to complicate matters, the system uses the RSM exponential handle, and if more line spacing is needed, the links could just be made longer. This would keep the level flight smooth, while giving even more "kick" to maneuvers.

I am not going to mess with it until after VSC, of course, as it is close enough for the level of flying I can do!

Afterwards, the plan is to go back to a 10x6 prop, move out to 65' lines, lower the compression to use higher nitro fuel, and really tune this puppy in! At 28 ounces, it has great potential to be an outstanding OT performer.
