Shift battery forward, do not fly until correct Center of Gravity location
is achieved
Aircraft nose rises steeply at
half throttle
Wind is too gusty or strong Postpone flying until the wind calms down
Elevator is trimmed ‘up’ too much
If trim must be adjusted more than 4 clicks when pushing the trim
button, adjust push rod length
