Thanks,
Kurt

Look under the section titled F;ying. The last sentence is "You need to find a CG about 50 to 55mm from the leading edge of the upper wing."

Thanks but that is the bigger Camel Green R/C produced. I own that one too. (It's a great flying plane!) I was looking for the info on the smaller 26-1/2" wingspan version. I'm certain the same rules apply to it that the balance point is directly above the lower wing leading edge on the upper wing, but I just wanted to make sure. Was also looking for surface throws but I can normally guess pretty good on those too.

Cheers,
Kurt

So. balance the model at 25% of 400mm back from the leading edge of the top wing i.e. 100mm. Just substitute the correct figure for your particular model............works for all biplanes!

Status: offline 		Hi,
Well I flew it today for the first time. It is a great little flyer! Plenty of power, easy to take off and land. But, it has one heck of a stall! If you can find one, get one. It is a great canidate for some detailing and weathering.

Too bad it was run into while taxing off of the runway, attacked by a big foamie Parkzone Trojan. Broke some wing struts, ribs and now has puncture wounds. Easy to fix and now it will get detailed and weathered.

Cheers,
Kurt
