That much decalage? Ok, then my model should be quite ok in that respect.
I just compared it to a F1M that flies with almost zero decalage.

Right-o. I was planning of scratching the whole fuselage, but based on
that, maybe I try to glue it together with lots of boron just to see if
the trims would work better with a stiffer fuz. It will weight 2 grams
after the repairs, but would serve that one thing to point out the way to
go in the future. Thanks for the tip.
