    Just purchased the arrow iii turbo. Loving this plane. But encountering what seems like an issue. At least to me. The plane seems super tail heavy. After the plane is cleaned up and cruising at 75% power, I have to keep what seems like an unrealistic amount of forward pressure on the yoke. Nose jerks up hard if I let go. I have to trim all the way to -7 for level flight. I’m using a honeycomb yoke. Any of this familiar to you all?

      @daniel6389 I have this problem, too. I use CH Products Flight Sim Yoke and Pro pedals.What I read from FlightSimulator forums it's SU5 that make many odd things:

        @daniel6389 It's definitely required more down trim since SU5.

          @daniel6389 I, personally, do not experience this. How much cargo and how many passengers are on board when you see this? What is your CoG? Is your trim actually working? Go into the drone view and look at your trim tabs to see if they are free and correct.

            @socalpilot I left everything as default. I believe it starts out with 50% fuel. Yes. The trim is working.. at least visually. When at neutral position, the trim is level with the elevator. Seems fine.
