Hi BPNot sure what you mean with the CH, if you mean c of g its 30mm back from the leading edge where the tip tanks join the wingtipsChris

I've read good things about the airframe as well. Seems HK's main problem is getting it shipped without incurring damage because of the poor packaging. Have they come to their senses and sent it double boxed?

This is my HK L-59 flying with a Wren-44 Dry weight 4,2 Kg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCOX...AnizxsJrreIRMg I have now change the Wren-44 for a Sprite turbine, and empty weight is 3,8 Kg, ( lighter engine and I have removed the nose lead) I have no videos with the Sprite engine.. Landings are better. Félix |
Awsome! hope mine flys as well as yours. I am going to power mine with an 80mm E-Flite EDF which I removed from my composite F4 phantom. This unit was producing 5.4 lbs static thrust in my phantom using 6s battery. The lighter weight of this EDF& battery pack compared to the larger 90mm recommended unit should hopefully work well as the all up flying weight will be less than my F4 Phantom and the L-59 has larger wing area and lighter wing loading.

Fantastic Felix! I wanted to put a wren44 in mine a few years back, but couldnt find a used one. This model is one of the best for its size. Great flying!
I did hit 165mph with the EDF but always felt this model deserved a turbine so I sold it. |

Thank you.
Actually this is the second flight, the hard landing was because the fuel tank was long, and the fuel was mving inside. Now is solved with a shorter new fiberglass tank. Compare the pictures. Félix |
Felix can you please advise position that you have set your center of gravity?
Thanks, wayne |
