DOes anyone know where to find the cg on this plane? I read somewhere to balance it on the bamboo spar. If this is the case then my zero is balanced. But, i want to hear other suggestions or opinios. I just finished my zero and plan on the maiden for next saturday, weather permitting of course!

Balance it on the spar or just behind it with battery installed. Mine is about 3 mm behind the spar and flies great.

What size battery are you using?

people keep recommending lipolys but i only have a ics 100. I'm going to try a 7.2 600mah. people have said that this batt will work.

It all depends on which motor you have.

300c will not fly well with a 7.2 volt battery, if at all. I use a 9.6 volt 650 mah with a 9x7 prop. Flies great. ICS100 also.

350c will fly with the 7.2 volt battery but I would use 8.4 at least. 9.6 will draw more amps but it will scream.

Just my 2 cents

I was thinking of getting a 8.4 v 730mah.. My question is will this fit? Or do i have cut foam away



Well i went ahead and ordered a 8.4 730mah. But, i'm going to try the 7.2 first
