Moving the CG forward will help reduce the amount of mixing required. This is an inherant trait of a Cap and has to do with the wing being down below the center of thrust. Othe manufactureres have figured out that most of these tendancies can be sorted out by lowering the engine and stab and then bringing up the wing slightly. Dihedral will also play a part in making the airplane more nuetral. Most of the GP airplanes I see look as if the designer felt it more nesesary to preserve the scale outline. Truth be known I would have to think that 1 out of 50 guys that buy that airplane is going to even notice the pitch coupling.
