Took the bird out for another attempt on Saturday, again weird characteristics during flight. When throttled up the tail dropped and i was flying straight up, half throttle and she was fine, nice and level?
I'm assuming its to do with the motor angle???
Turns were were sloppy, rudder was necessary for turns, i'm not used to that.....
Question - are the wing struts necessary or are they aesthestic??

Sounds so much like my 1800mm wingspan Piper. not as bad behaving, but drag its tail in turns and have to use rudder. I'm in the process of changing motors and prop. I'll use any tips you get for help.
