Default 120sr Tail Heavy
Hi all,
New here and to Heli's. Been flying airplanes for many years. I have been cutting my teeth on the 120sr and having lots of fun. However for some reason it has become very tail heavy and I can't figure out why. Something has changed for sure. I am trimmed all the way forward and still need forward stick for level flight. Its annoying. Nothing appears broken and the boom is inserted all the way.

What am I missing and what should I check?

Thanks!

Is the 120SR mechanically trimmed?

Thanks for the help!
