HJ 460 Flew yesterday at the hands of Alfredo Gracia in SKGY taking off at
8500 and doing circuits for 20 mins at 10500.  An emotional moment.

Thanks to all, it would not have been possible without the help of the
forum.

Alfredo reported that everything was fine except for a marked nose up
tendency despite trim

My trim is standard Kit LED with a vehicle Electric Window Switch and the
Dynon AP panel.  The trim works normally on the ground with the appropriate
deflections.

Alfredo even suggested taking off with two LED bar nose down which i
suspect is not normal.

I spoke to Bud who suggested the following as a first look
1.  Check the trim is working correctly (not back to front)
2.  Check the CG for tail heavy
3.  Check the flaps fully retract against the incidence template.

Suggestions and ideas welcome.

Again, many thanks to all

Will
