Hello,

Just completed the change of the tail feathers on my c-90 powered Clipwing J-3, I have installed a set coming from a pawnee, they have exactly the same shape of the originals but are balanced.

The intention was to lighten the high elevator forces encountered in aerobatics, but now I feel like the plane is tail heavy all the time, I run out of forward trim even before reaching the top speed.

I have read some posts regarding this issue, but like to hear experiences and opinions about it.

Thanks.
