RE: super bandit set up
BV's CG is way far forward, the guys I talked to when I balanced mine said if you balance it where the instructions suggest you will run out of elevator on landing.
I had as much elevator as I could get (about 1 1/4" at the root) and the jet was balanced as follows.
Tanks empty but UAT full.
Canopy hatch off and gear down.
Then push the tail down to the ground, when balanced correctly it should JUST stay on the ground and maybe come back down on the nose gear very very slowly. After my first flight I ended up changing the CG so that with the canopy hatch on it would just come off the tail and slowly slowly come back down on the nose. I don't remember for sure how far that moves the CG from the instructions but I believe it's around 3/4". When the center tank is full the jet is still nose heavy. Takes a fair bit of elevator to come off the ground.
They fly very nicely but it was to small for my taste, I sold it very early in it's life. It's getting a new higher vis paint job right now for the new owner.
