RE: My Revver-Killer (Magnum R)
On the Magnum (not R), I am flying with the CG 145 mm back from the leading edge where it meets the fuselage.
I don't know if the wing geometry has changed on the R version. I have no trouble to get the nose up to flare for
landing, but the speed needs to be kept up pretty high until that point. This plane lands VERY HOT, and drops like a
red brick with the motor off; trying to "milk it in" is a recipe for disaster. Flying too slow will hurt what little glide ratio
the plane has left a lot and risk a stall, not to mention spongy controls. Keep it fast, up until it is time to flare, and all
should go well.
