SPAD Mustang
Gentlemen...
I have just finished draughting up plans for a SPAD Mustang for my .40. I love Mustangs, and have no budget right now, but i have to keep flying through the winter (NZ) with a good looking model that is cheap to make and maintain. Im not dragging my Corsair or TF Mustang through the mud
Specs:- 60" wingspan, PVC, coroplast, ply, fibreglass construction, no landing gear, but may have flaps as i want to play around with them.
The outlines and profiles have been taken from a scale NA drawing, and maintained as close as practical.
My question is the C of G. Is 30% a good place to start?
Im asking as this is my first attempt at an own design...
Thanks for reading/replying...

IMHO 22-25% is a good place to start from there you can moove it back, but if you start at 30% and its too far back the Stang may not be around to adjust the CG for its second flight
