Default RE: Is this a pattern plane?


ORIGINAL: onewasp

Simply use 25% of the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC).

That may well prove to be the right spot but even if it is not you will live to fly another day
and can make adjustments from there.
You will do that even with the factory suggested CG as it is simply part of trimming the airplane.

The old saw is ''Friends do not let friends fly tail heavy.''
The above suggestion precludes that yet is well within reason .

If you are not familiar with the MAC go here: http://www.airfieldmodels.com/inform...amic_chord.htm

BTW the model IS currently available http://ecsvr.com/abm/shopexd.asp?id=36
WOW! Now im confused? LOL thanks onewasp, I dont even know where to start to understand that, but i did look into the airfield website and they do have it, I looked into the world modles website today again and found it was discontinued. I can order parts for it now , thank you onewasp.
