    Have you tried moving your batteries to different positions to change the CG?

        As stated, usually moving the batts forward settles the nose down. Vid is always welcome!

                      Well no luck so far, last thing to try would be trim tabs. Any one know where I can get some little trim tabs or some pics of some home made ones I can try to copy
                      Thanks

                        I just use some 1/16" aluminium angle for my home made ones.
