need help with a PBF
im building a pizza box flier .. well its actually finished its 18x18 with a sfm speed 400 geared 1.85-1 ratio 9x3.8 prop . 8.4 volt 900 mah battery has plenty of power 
. need to find a few things before i go out for a test flight .. i have my cg set a 4 inches from the front of the craft .. as per ive seen in other threads .. is that correct .. and i need to know what angle of attack the elevator needs to be for a good flying PBF .. it has a 3 inch elevator and a 2 inch rudder ( the control surfaces ) the rudder itself is 4 inches total .. if anyone can help with the angle of attack id apreciate it

RE: need help with a PBF
well i flew the pbf today .. what a champ .. needed right rudder to compensate torque but other than that .. and needing some type of prop saving landing gear works beautifull .. broke prop twice lol
.. other than being 1-2 oz of thrust less than i need to hover i love it .. thinking of going brushless and lipo soon
i think my pbf weighs around 1.3 lbs
if anyone has any ideas on where to get a cheap brushless setup i would be greatly appreciative
