       My Privateer will fly nice and level at 10 feet
from the ground but try and fly at 5 feet and it
hunts all over the place,its good everywhere else

Have a friend hold the flaps and adjust some down elevator.

Robert is right.  I had the same problem with a profile Smoothie, and a friend suggested a couple of turns of down elevator.  That did the trick.   Glen

Check for smooth controls, binding will cause hunting.

Pinch of slop in the elevator. That one goes back to my pre-teens.

[rustler]

Is it the same upright and inverted?

[Paul Allen]

Yes, same both ways,will try the down elevator trick.
Tried all other fix's that I could find in triming articles.
Thanks guy's

My new ship was doing the same thing. Added a little nose weight it went away. I started making some line adjustments and the hunting started again. I got my lead-outs a tad too far forward. Got them moved back a hair and the hunting went away. Use some clay on the nose first, see if it works. As mentioned, some down elevator may help...a little "slop" also. To quote my coach. "An adjustment here effects the adjustment over there." You have got to go slow and small until you find that "happy medium."

I think circlepilot has the best Ideas give it a shot, I have been very lucky with my last 3 Planes. Sat right in the grove. I hate to have to adjust for hunting. If nothin works sell it  or give it away.
