Default PW-5 longitudinal pitch oscillation

Tail up or (nose down) is a normal condition that usually occurs when entering a thermal. It can be a bit more pronounced in a short coupled bird, like the Super Albatross, Genesis-2 and I guess the PW-5. Relax, pull back a bit and roll into the light wing..............you just entered a thermal! Aft CG is best for performance.
