Please go over your set up and do the range test per instruction. If you have the 10X, take the antenna off but if other radio just have it collapsed.

CG does chagne your trim setting but for now fly it as it is set up right now. All of our Yaks take uptrim to fly level but only 2-4 clicks that's because of 0 incidence. Did you look at the Ailerons after they were trimmed out, does look like that one size favors the other side a lot? I feel you need more time on this plane for actual trimming. Sometimes you compensate rudder trim with Ailerons. Don't worry about the trim, 3-4 clicks is not of a concern on any plane.Investigate the problem before you fly it. Range test without engine running and let me know what radio you have. Like I said if you are using 10X, 100ft is not what I'd like to see.

Reza, I have a 9303. I didn't exactly measure how far I was but the 100 feet was an estimate of how far away I was. I will count my steps this weekend. I won't worry about the trim settings, I'll just burn some gas for now. It flys fine after it was trimmed in. I diidn't really notice the ailerons after they were trimmed. I will look at that as well. I will range test it again and let you know what I find.
