Krown Kustoms:
Thanks everyone for the interest and the help

I moved the batt forward and center for starters, angeled the rudders??? outward hoping for a little more stability.
I have a some sketch plans that I have been referencing and they have the CG located on them.

John,
I do have a channel for flaps that I can use for the elevons, I trimmed it in the first time because I thought it would need the elevator pitched up to sustain flight.
I cant make out your drawing but I think I see what you are refering to.

By the way, I have been calling the elevons "flaperons" for some reason not sure where I acquired the term, but I wanted to clear that up.

Tink,
I am new to aerodynamics, and have to google all of the terms you guys are using, I have been going by trial and error -mostly error-
I am looking up mean and root chord now.

Stew,
Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
Im not sure I would call it a flyer yet but well on its way.

KK,

I posted the link for the picture....I'm still on a learning curve for posting from 3rd part sites...

Hope it helps.

Krown Kustoms:
I got the link but I cant resize the pic on the link, It is the same size as your post.

John Rudd:
KK,

I sent the pic via email to you.......

tinkerer:
I would attempt to explain, but I think learning the aerodynamics is important if you will be doing a lot of flying. It will give you some insight to why some things are happening. There are a lot of variables in aircraft design, each affecting another. Good luck with the adjustments and next flight. Get some video for us.
