General flight, especially slow speed/landing✈️ Plane

Tail-heavy symptoms — floaty, pitch-divergent, hard to land

The plane feels floaty and pitch responses amplify instead of settling.

💡 The idea: CG is too far aft, letting pitch responses diverge.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Move CG forward toward spec

    Directly addresses the root cause.

  2. 2
    Reduce elevator throw / add expo if instability is severe

    Buys margin while you dial the CG back in.

  3. 3
    Re-test with the classic 45°-up-then-release test

    Climbing on release confirms tail-heavy.
