Wish I could get the database thread sticky to the top of this forum but if anyone has these or any others they would like to contribute I will add it to the one on the global thread. Thanks!

also if anyone has and advice on a good CG, book shows 220-250 I thought about using the halfway point between the two. My weight is coming out at 37.6 lbs with a Cheetah SE

Thanks that's what I was going to start with. I weighed mine today with cg machine and it was 37.6 pounds. A bit heavier than 36lbs but I'm running two batteries and pilots. I finally tried the angle sensors today they are supper helpful for perfect matching.

Awesome! Yeah the only thing that I don't have is the Pilots in. Also your may weigh a little heaver than the FB due to it being just hair larger. I am using the CB200 which I would think weighs as much as the Power Box if that's what your using. I had to put the Turbine battery back in the original spot that I had it "In the middle of the fuse just under the intakes. but I am still like .12 lbs nose heavy. The charge lines are long enough for me to have them running to my ECU and able to charge it. I like the color that you chose.

For the FB Viper Xicoy Measurements:

Distance front-Mains : 1194mm
Distance Mains-CG: 69
Distance from Mains to Weight Placement 1150 " This number is due to where my batteries are placed.

These number may be off by +- 2-3 mm but when I make my jig I will check the numbers again to ensure accuracy. If this thing works them I will make a build of it and show what I did.
