Default RE: P-39 by ESM

Jmohn how did you install the nose gear servo with your scale cockpit installed . I am planing on getting one and i am using a gas engine and have installed the tank just behind the firewall to make the room needed for the cockpit but i am concerned that the cockpit will get in the way of the pull pull for the nose wheel stearing.

The CG is right on the manual's recommendations. I have mine a little forward, but it flies fine that way. You might want to add a little down thrust in the motor as the wings have a little too much positive incidence in them for my taste. I am going to add about 2 degrees to mine and see how it flies. Make sure you get one of Ty's cockpit kits... they are awsome and look great in the plane. Lots of power with my setup so you can use half-throttle most of the time and get more from your battery packs.

BTW - here is a photo of the battery box.
