Standard plane running 3s 2200 40c turnigy battery. Conditions were bad and all planes flown at the time need heaps of up elevator to fly. It is in a valley and I think on hot arvo's at the location there is a bit of a depression and the planes struggle to fly.
@mboiko I know what you are seeing. I think two things caused it. One was the tailwind and the other is that this location at this time of the day and year seems to be in a real trough and the air pushes down. Even my big 2.6m glider needs power on to keep flying. Can't hold altitude without power on. The CG is actually forward to where it should be.

Almost seems like the CG is too far back...look at others flying the same plane (Wow,ST Blaze, etc..) this plane should be able to slice right through the wind without any problem.
