1st flight CUB to Spit

[IntruderWithin]

Wow took the Spit out this morning as the weather is great. Launch was fine, straight up. It does require only little movement of the controls and soon I found I was messing up (plane seemed to do oppersite of what I wanted it to do). Also the plane kept wanting to go up:confused: and we knocked heads a few times. Anyway managed to land and turned the elevator down. 2nd flight, launch ok but kept trying to go up, decreased speed and trimed but this only helped a little.

Wow what a nice smooth plane to fly when:) I manage to sort the problem of it keep going up:( any ideas or measurements for me.

Thanks
