Thank you all for your words of support - you folks are great! This forum is terrific for that as well as all the back and forth on a mountain of topics.

I keep going through the second flight in my head and I honestly cannot account for the smooth climb and then, with power on, seemingly no vertical control. Two critical things I have to look at before I tear into the aft section of the fuse to lighten is to 1) get a current reading of the RPM's of the engine with the prop used, and 2) observe the mechanics inside to ensure that I didn't have any failures there. If I can't find answers there, I'm back to focusing on lightening up the fuse and cleaning up the mechanics.

For Fokker Ace, the thread that I started with the majority of the photos are perhaps on the second page of threads labeled "LFG Roland C.II Progress" - it's been locked for a while now.
