He's right..it MAY have just been wind. And, aren't you going to mess with your CG?. Get a little more time on the plane before you start throwing mixes at it. You can manually add RUDD as you fly and see how it affects your turns. Mine don't "need it" either, but they sure carve around a turn better with it.

Yeah I think I'm going to try a few mms nose heavy, and see what she does. I even noticed that when I came in she for landings it was more of a three point landing as apposed to main gear. CG is smack on with empty tank and thats with the tank under the wing tube.

The manual called for the tank to be filled 500cc and in its regular position wich would make her nose heavy. I am supposing that that is what they wanted. You know those china manuals are so clear. I don't even use them any more. Just for CG and maybe a few other specs.

I did try manual rudder in coordinated turns and it felt much better. I just want to make sure I am not compensating for the plane not being set up properly.
