C G For TOM COOK'S F-4
Hi there to all,
I am looking for the C G on the F-4 from Tom Cook . I just completed the jet and will be powered with a SX P-160 JET CAT.
Thank you,
Nick

I have one doing a BVM EDF conversion on next year. I'll pull the plans and get the cg off them for you tonight. Got to run off to work.

Hi Nick, somewhere on this forum is a youtube video of my JMP F4 including c of g verification and first test flight. I imagine Tom never envisaged his design flying at the weight gained by using a turbine and high fuel weight. If you haven't considered it already I would give some thought to the landing gear mounts and wing spar arrangements. A single turbine allows a greater depth of spar across the fuselage. Mine flew for 15 years on two Dynamax fans and was converted about 4 years ago to a single TJT 3000 (25 pounds thrust) Best wishes, Ron.
