i recently bought the parkzone se5a and found it to be dissatrously tail heavy on its 1st flight. i had to put over 2 ounces of lead in the nose to achieve optimum balance.
i know this is right as she now flies level at half throttle with the elevator in a neutral mid position.
i also didnt trust the plastic clevis pin with the rubber securing ring, which was already showing signs of perishing. so i drilled the clevis right thru and secured the connection with a suitable size "R" clip. you only need to "R" clip one end of the aerilon rod for adjustment, the other end can be fixed permanently with some piano wire passed thru then bent over to stop it coming out.

i also replaced the rudder and elevator clevis joint the same way ,as any mid air failure doesnt bear thinking about.
