Purchased a used F15. It is about the size of the 1/9 scale SM kit, except it does not separate behind the cockpit like the SM kit does. It has ail/flaps. It is about the 120 size. I am looking for the CG location. I know the older SM kits had a "former" that installed over the turbine and the CG was located in this area. There is no former like this on this plane. The wings plug in and are tightened by the a set screw holding a CF rod. The plane was flown prior to my receipt, but I am installing a new turbine (K80) and want to make sure my CG is correct. Can anyone help identify this kit and the numbers I seek?
Thanks
Tommy

Tommy, post a picture of your jet and let us look at it so we can tell which version it is. Mike

I will do it. I am pretty sure, almost positive, it is not Avonds. I think the more I have looked that it is probably the FB 1/9 version. It is almost identical to the SM version, but does not seperate at the intakes like the original SM version did. Everything else is almost identical.

My JL F-15 bought in 2008 seperates behind the cockpit and has the main former over the engine bay which is where the balance point is. Not sure if they changed it or you have different manufacturers F-15.
