Peter, What sort of trim does the Blanik have? Our K-13 has an aerodynamic trim tab. With it set neutral it rapidly develops into a spiral dive after about 3/4 of a turn, but if you put in full forward trim this makes the trim-tab go up, giving you more elevator authority with the stick back and it spins (and recovers!) beautifully. And that's with me in the front. (No light-weight :-( !)
