Getting time to make the madien, any tips on CG and throws would be great.
Not sure on weight, but the P-140 should push it along fine.
Thanks
Kevin

I have had several of these jets, start with the book numbers. After you get used to it you can move the cg back to make it more responsive. I had mine really tail heavy as a personal preference. An aft cg makes nice nose high approach and landings.

Mine was at recommended settings. It flys awesome. 742nd and last flight was a midair by a trainer the came took off and hit me on a downwind take off going opposite the pattern before I even knew what happened. Will have to do another some day. Good luck with yours, you will love it.

742 flights....Wow! If I get a couple hundred flights and I'm feeling really good. Although, I normally sell it around 200 flights, so that might be my problem.

RE: Avonds F16
Flies absolutely great with tailerons only...even slow flight. I used to get it up and slow until I had full aft elevator, then just fly it around at hi aoa using rudder only. Talk about turning....always said I could fly it in my garage. Dont waste your time with ailerons.
