Hello there! This is my first post to the FT community... I've built a couple Tiny Trainer variations and just flew my FT Goblin yesterday for the first time. It was my first experiment with a wing of any sort and wow! was it fun to fly. Honestly, I had never even launched a wing before and this really takes off right out of your hand.
The only question I have is that it does need a good bit of elevator to stay in the air. I have the same situation with both my Tiny Trainers.. no matter how much I mess with the COG they seem to want to point down the second I let up on down elevator. Maybe I am spoiled by my Bixler which seems to float on Magic Fairy Dust -but from reading I feel like these should be more stable in the air then they are. Trim doesn't help btw.
I will keep:
1. trying to move the COG back as much as I can
2. perhaps set the elevator mids to slightly raised
Or perhaps I'm just new to airplanes and wanted to share my FT Goblin build since there aren't a ton of them out there.
