Default NES Caleb

Just put my second Caleb from NSP in the air. The first one died because the directions said to put the CG 3.25" back. That is = to 40% cord. it was uncontrollable. The second one I ordered came with a small paper from Baudis model. They said to put the CG from 30 to 35%. Live and learn

The second one launched great, but in the pull out form a shallow, unpowered dive, the right wing broke half way out. The inspection showed the spar was not glued to the wing skin on the bottom side. There was a bead of glue that had never been pushed into the wing.

I will call Sal tomorrow and ask him what he thinks

Have any of you had a similar problem?

Thanks

Chad
