RE: Xtreme Jet F-86 Equipment Install.
Dave,
Congrats on your acquisition. I CG'd mine per the instructions and its fine. All the fuel is fwd of the CG so you'll always be nose heavy but that seems ok.
Here are some pics of my install. It's slightly different than stock because I initially flew mine as an EDF so I cut out a lot of the forward formers and used a bvm rotating nose to allow me to creat a clean inlet duct and avoid the nose wheel. I cut back my EDF duct when doing the turbine conversion. Initially I flew it with a j66 then a K100.
Hope this helps.

RE: Xtreme Jet F-86 Equipment Install.
Your install looks very nice.
Thanks again for all the great information. I am just getting started on mine. Will be installing a P-80.
I am thinking about converting the gear to electric.
Thanks again
