HI this was from the original flight testing report and the final CG figure was after 6 test flights...... should give you a close location to kick off with.

· Final C.G. of the day was found to be at 87.6 mm (3.45”) behind spar centerline, this is the aft most recommended C.G. (Projected Ultimate C.G. to be 3” aft of Spar CL)

Hi I was setting up mine as someone was looking to buy my jet so if I get a chance I will check my settings, give me a few days and I will come back to you.

Thank you Rich for posting that, lost my hard disc back a few years before 'cloud' so nice to have this info back, hope you are doing well and the family are all good.

Anyone interested in this jet I'm still toying with selling mine, not because I particularly want to sell but as I just don't have time to fly anymore its a shame every time I look at her she seems to be saying fly me! Be nice for sometime to give her that opportunity again. Just PM me if interested, totally immaculate jet, JR's, Powerbox, igyro, electrons and a brand new Jet Italia Lion 220N plus loads of nice accessories along with some GBRJET stuff naturally

Hey Marc, doing well thanks for asking.

I want to congratulate Jim Hiller who flew his Xtreme ARF Vixen in the XFCv2 and came in 2nd place this past July, he is featured in the December issue of Model Aviation magazine.
