Hey folks... first year flyer wanting to get some advice on what may be a problem or not on my Apprentice. I notice whenever I get the wings level, the plane wants to pitch up.
This happens at take off...
As soon as I leave the ground... with throttle at 3/4, it just wants to pitch up. I actually have to put down elevator to keep a steady accent.
This happens after a bank turn...
Im banking and turning... plane is descending... and as soon as I level off... it pitches up. If I want it to track more naturally and straight coming of the turn, I have to give down elevator.
At half throttle... place flies level and maintains same altitude - no pitching. And I do notice it climb when I add throttle... and I do think that part is expected. But is the rest also expected? Is this just what you expect from these trainers with the dyhedral (sp?) wings? Or it is my CG? I've got my battery as far forward as I can, but I've yet to try shifting the CG a bit with lead, etc.
Anyway, just wanted to ask around first before I started messing around with it.
