Glad to hear nothing was damaged.
So my radio set up didn't work?
On the down thrust it looks to me that you have a nice tight fitting low drag nose. So I don't think you have enough room to get any significant down thrust by shimming.
I too feel Sherman's pain moving from a 6 servo ship to these RES type models.
As to control throws, was Sherman able to find the CofG trim (dive test)? I suspect that with the CofG and the thrust line adjustment your elevator throws will be OK. The further back the CofG is the less elevator throw is needed or desired!
As you have found a known glider driver he will be an invaluable resource in trimming and flying.
Let us know what he says, as you and this glider become friends.
All the best,
Konrad
