ACE R/C BINGO
The designer of the Bingo and all those old Ace airplanes is D.B. Mathews, writes for Model Aviation. I am sure he can help! Love his designs, I have a 4-60 Bipe, and am just finishing up a 4-120

One of the senior members at my club gave me a great method for finding the CG of any plane. Fasten a string to the front of the plane, say to the engine behind the spinner and the other end of the plane as close to the elevator as possible. Make sure the string is plenty long enough so you can put the wing on and hang the whole mess from the ceiling. Now hang it and/or balance it so the desired attitude is achieved. Now, if a plump bob is hung from the point you're hanging the plane from, it will point to the CG location.

If it is the NOT big Bingo the CG is 3 1/4" to 4" back from leading edge,,I'd start in the 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 range till you get a hang of the plane,,

Not exactly on topic, but Eloy - how did you hook up the 4-40 rods to the ailerons on your 4-120? I am working on one and it seems like if you run the rods out at an angle the way it shows on the plans the 1/4 x 1/4 spar gets in the way. It even shows it going "through" it on the plans, which would mean you would have to cut it. I was thinking of cutting a slot in the plate and putting the servo arm down through it instead. Thanks, Jim S.

I balance my Bingo about 1/4" aft of the main spar, but don't start there. The first balance point was at the center of the spar and I moved it back slowly until it would spin,snap, etc., it was very stable at the forward location.
You will love the Bingo, it's so stable that I have taught beginners to fly on mine and at the same time it is able to do anything I ask of it.
