So I decided to build an F22 after seeing how well they fly and how easy they are to assemble. I get everything installed -- motor, speed control, servos -- I get everything trimmed out and configured, elevon mixed, centered servos -- I program the speed control and balance the center of gravity with the battery so that it's just forward of the motor.
Excited, I drive to a local park and check everything. I power the motor up, let it go and it promptly climbs to about 8 feet and then nose dives into the ground. Awesome.
SO, I assume that either I have the motor pitched up somehow or the nose is too heavy. I thought the CG balancing compensates for that.
I've left off a lot of detail so here it is: Turnigy Park300 1600kv motor, 3S 500mah battery, 30a speed control.

In short: any advice while I rebuild?
