Did you find yours to be pitch sensitive at the forward CG? How did it improve overall as you moved the CG back?

I Noticed the big difference on High Alfa and specially on landing, my method after initial cg is to fly level pull to 45 degree up line count to three half roll to inverted and observe the second half of the 45 degree upline , I then adjust my cg so that the second half without elevator input is maintained with a slight downward radius at the end of the line. This method I learned from the Peter Goldsmith trim chart.

Hope this helps

Awesome, thanks for the input. I will have mine at Super jet south next week and hope to get some flights in for more tuning of the CG and Igyro

Thanks man, I spent 11 hours yesterday redoing the program on my 18MZ. As soon as I was done I backed that baby up to a SD card!!! Still can't believe I deleted it.

You coming to Super Jet south?

Anton,

I don't have Facebook. Could you please repost the F-16.mdl file for the Futaba 18MZ. The above link does not work.

Thanks

Guys, I just took delivery of a new one of these birds from Chief. They had a Netherlands scheme in stock so I got it in 3 days! Whoooohooooo!

Trying to resource where to get the right Servo arm lengths. Have read this thread and Craigs too. Need some help on what arms to use and where you got them for all the surfaces. The only one I have found with an exact measurement is for the Rudder, a Seacraft arm at Dreamworks. If you had to cut an arm or bore new holes, please let me know which arms you are using. Craig did say the Elevon needs to be somewhat skinny.

He said he was able to use a MPI arm...I cant find them anywhere on the internet, only the micro arms.

Any help would be great.

Nevermind on finding the MPI arms...finally saw the link to their store. I went ahead and ordered several I thought would work, that I could drill for the correct length and cut the excess end off.

But still would like to hear what you guys have been using as far as arms.

Gathering items and will start the assembly in the next week or so.

Hi Folks, I'm selecting my 1/5 F-16 Turbine. I'm down to either Jetcat P200SX vs the Jet Central Mammoth SP. Please make recommendations; I have read nothing but positive reviews on the Mammoth. However, Jetcat has become a household name in the Jet world. Please share experiences or recommendations.
