I apologize for starting a new thread, but oh my those others are getting VERY long. Nice to see so much interest in this thing. Anyway mine is finally finished, just waiting for it to warm up a bit so I can fly it, Are most of you flying with the CG in the recommended location or further aft?

4cm in frotn of the front of the wing tube? a lot of people were syaing balance it on the hooks i think! With a chord like that, it shouldnt matter a lot..as you say.

If it's in front of the wing tube, that makes no sense, if its 4 cm behind the wing tube, I guess thats about right, the plans show the CG on the half height bulkhead right behind the wing tube. 4cm behind the wing tube is even further aft than the "hooks"

I may be able to get my 1st flight in tomorrow (8 March 03).
I changed out my hooks last night after i felt them give a little while i was picking the plane up to double check the CG. I have nylon bolts that i will wing nutt and pin now.

i flew mine today with the cg on the middle of the hooks once the were there (not there anymore u know) it stills takes a little bit of pressure to fly it inverted so i can move it back just a 1/8-1/4 in more aft. Knife was great it may take very little mixing R-E, i dont think it wil need any R-A. Well long day i am out for now .....
