If it is feeling light on the controls and tending to wander in all axiis - CG is the first thing I would check. I am not an experienced RV flyer or test pilot. But that's what a rearward CG feels like. Be careful not to load anything in the back until you sort out what's going on. If it is CG, that could be more than exciting.
