Default RE: DON MUDDIMAN FLYING MACHINE SHORT KIT BUILD

The plane is basically finished. A few tweaks left such as engine runs to decide whether to use the Macs or standard muffler and which prop. The plane has the OS 55AX with HS 485HB standard servos for elev and rud. HS82MG servos are used for each aileron and an HS81 servo for the throttle. A Hayes 8oz tank was used. The total weight came out at 4 1/2 lbs. The CG is at 3" aft of the leading edge using the Macs muffler. Don has 3" aft of leading edge written in his assembly maual for the CG and the plans measure 3 1/8" aft of leading edge. So I think for initial flights it should be fine at 3".
