Default RE: HELP WITH ST. CROIX/CRESSLINE LONG EZ KIT

Hey Dan your model is looking good. You’re only going with a 6oz tank? I would make the mods and go with nothing smaller then 8oz for a 40 size engine. Did you glass the wings? I glassed the wings on mine but not the fuse. Thinking back and hearing form other posters about the CG changing with fuel drain that might have been my problem on landings. The model probably came in a little nose heavy. I didn’t have the room to come in with much throttle so at idle I don’t think I had enough air speed to keep the nose up. I would like to know if that 2” extension with the nose wheel down will put the CG to far forward. Keep the pictures coming as you progress.
