I would imagine the plane is very stable with the CG at 5 1/4". I flew mine at 5 5/8" as specified in the manual and was pleased with how it handled. That explains why mine didn't tend to nose over...

"re-maiden"....interesting term. I associate the term "maiden flight" with the concept of a young maiden losing her virginity. Can you lose virginity twice? :rolleyes:

I'm not sure what you think is "amiss"? My Mustang weighed 10.5 lbs with a Valley View 20cc gas engine. The CG was 5 5/8" back just as shown in the manual. The plane flew great!

I won't say that the 15cc engine is not a good choice, since I haven't tried it. But, in my opinion, after flying this model with a 20cc engine, I think it is an ideal size for this plane and not...
