Sparrow Hawk 1 Flight charcaristics

[Colin Gibson]

I have my Sparrow Hawk 1 finally flying and my instructor , who normally flys a R.A.F. has remarked about the pitching up when power is applied. He is quite light at 68 kilo which probably enhances the issue.
Watching the aircraft from the ground it appears to fly in a nose up attitude also.
He had it climbing at 1500 ft / min and that looked very steep.
Question :
Has anyone altered the length of the ' Tongue ' that the upper tail bolts onto.
If the top of the tail were to be moved back a degree then I would expect it would flatten out the attitude.
Any comments on this would be very welcome.
Colin
