William, I had to load the picture into my photo editor to see what Eric's
airplane really is. It is an Ultrastar all right, the boom comes from the
wing junction with the engine below, but someone tacked a nose gear onto it
.

Eric, What you have is someone's own ideas plastered on to something that
looks like an Ultrastar. The biggest problem, concern, whatever, is the
nose wheel. Second is the way your elevators are hanging from the
horizontal stabilizer. You've got a real mess here.
As for landing, the best advice I can give you is what I was given when I
got my Mk III 14 years ago. Don't try to come in at idle, fly it on until
you're used to how it lands. I made a video of landing the MK III you can
find on Youtube at rick51076. It was intended for people transitioning
from GA aircraft to the Kolb and dealt mostly with the difference using
flaps make.
Good luck, stay healthy, and blur skies,
Rick

The centering is at 29%.
I have to modify the incidence of the stabilizer.
On langing engine idling it even becomes dangerous.
Do you have any advice!

Eric sent me a email off list. French English translator gave me this.
Thank you for your interest in my message. I have 2 Ultrastar 1 purple and
1 blue. Purple flies very well see on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5ulWECN9dmA
,
it has a stabilizer incidence adjustment: see purple stab. The blue is very
pungent after the first flight I changed the incidence of the stabilizer:
see blue stab. On the second flight of the blue, less but still stinging,
see position of the depth trim: blue trim. So I checked the centering which
is good 29%, see centering. I don=99t know if I=99m focusing fu
rther back or
changing the angle of the stabilizer again.

Doing a lot of reading between the lines here but my take is that the
blue one is having pitch issues. If the 29% is a reference to the center
of gravity being at 29% of wing cord, my guess is that his CG is too far
forward. Probably due to the nose wheel?
If this is correct, I can see him running out of elevator in a flair and
wheel borrowing the nose gear on landing.
Did I miss something?

In the video that was linked - https://youtu.be/5ulWECN9dmA - It is hard to tell
from the video, but it appears that there is a very high ground speed before
lifting off. It is also apparent that there is no gap seal. If the cg is at
29% and there is no gap seal, I am surprised that there is enough elevator authority
to be able to land it at any speed.
Friend Eric; install a gap seal over the center section of the wings and get rid
of some of the weight in the front of the airplane.

If the end of your cable is bad, you can shorten it a bit as long as you shorten the cable sheath an equal amount. If I remember correctly, this fitting is a perfect fit and quite well made: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/wireswivels.php
