Need more info on the control inputs you required to maintain a level
attitude. Certainly taking the wheel pants off would be the first step if
that is all that changed since your last flight. Was the first flight after
coming out of the paint shop? If so I would check all the rigging along with
check the balance on all your control surfaces. The little stick on weights
could have been removed, fallen off, or not fully replaced if removed.
Reweighing your plane and doing a new weight and balance on your aircraft if
certainly a consideration also. As the mauledriver said, a aft CG will
certainly make her more twitchy on the controls. Increases your cruise speed
and tightens your turn radius but with that comes the risk of a quicker
departure with an ensuing flat spin that you probably can't recover from.

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.

Thnaks for the info. I was thinking of doing just that, if by removing pants, do not
reflect any change..
the questions is , how can things change suddenly, when for the past 40 or so hours,
everything has been well, and nothing has been touch, or changed... but, things
can change by itself I* guess.
