You would think that with that speed it wouldn't matter where the CG is.
I know is sounds kinda silly but are you putting enough rudder input in ? Rudder is one of those control where you might think you are giving it full deflection when in fact you are nowhere near it.

DW, I’m curious about your servo extension mounting technique with the electrical tape and CA. What happens when you have to remove it or replace one of the extensions? The tape stays stuck? Normally when electrical tape get old it just turns into a gooey mess, I’m assuming this holds up well? I envision using like a single drop of thick CA, is that what you use? I like it because its so clean looking and you can literally mount the extensions anywhere..
Also can someone post the shipping box dimensions? I want to know if I need to take the truck when I pick it up or if it will fit in my small SUV.
Thanks!

I use at least two wraps of tape, the CA (Zap-20) only spots to the outer layer, if you have to remove and pull the lead away, only a ‘dot’ of tape stays on the surface. There is another layer underneath. To replace add a new dot of glue and it goes down exactly where it was before.
There are vastly differing qualities of insulation tape, the ones I buy from electrical contractors stay stuck for years. I’ve been using this technique for almost 20 years and the original models still hold firm. It’s neat and very light.
Use one drop of SLO Zap around 3/32 dia, if the surface is textured it needs a touch more to fill in the voids, if it’s a difficult area I sometimes spray the surface with a squirt of Kicker before adding the Zap to tape, it then takes instantly

CARF has been delivering my models to Los Angeles with Old Dominion Freight lines. Why do you choose to pick yours up?

In talking to Ray he was saying that they have been picking some planes up from Long Beach and bringing them to the warehouse in Oakland. He said I could probably* pick it up from Oakland and save myself the cost of shipping. It’s only like an hour and 45 min drive for me.

I keep in my shop 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.6, 2.0, 2.3mm glass board.
i think the Evo is using 1.0mm mainly because that was the right packer to centre the turbine
