Tom's Rutan Defiant ARF 2nd Flight

Tom's Burt Rutan's Defiant ARF 2nd Flight... a little better now that I added 1/8" of positive relex to the two front elevators... this thing still flies totally different than any other plane I have flown... then again, it is a totally different and unique design than any other plane I've flown... still appears a little tail heavy so before the next flight, I'll try to scoot the battery up just a little. My CG on this flight was about 1/2" from the leading edge of the main wing were it meets the fuselage (the manual says 4.1".... Ohhhhhh I think not!... no wonder I'm one of a few that actually got this thing to fly!)

Nice to see one flying, got one im putting together now, what cog did you finally end up at? and can you explain how you achieved the positive reflex on the elevators.
