GP Pitts C/G
I just pulled my Q52 out of my Pitts and replaced it with a DA-50. Now I'm all mixed up on my C/G, can anyone tell me where the best C/G for this plane is. I'm looking for ease of flight not wild 3D stuff.
Also, can anyone tell me if the TNT gear really helps the landing/taking off of the 1/3 scale Great Planes Pitts?
Thanks Much,
Sheldon

Great Planes says its 5-5 3/4" Back from the top wing's leading edge. Seems like a good starting point. If you look the plane up Tower's site it will give you all of the tech notes for CG, throws, etc. Here's the link http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXAVP9&P=ML

RE: GP Pitts C/G
Thanks for your post. that is where I had it with the Q52 and I just remember (But can't seem to find the post) that a different C/G made the plane more managable especially on landing where my problem is. I was hoping someone would remember that.
Thanks much,
Sheldon
