Default RE: Aero Works P-51?

CG range????

Hey Guys,

This is the first model I've assembled where the manufacturer gives you an exact location for the CG rather than a range. I normally start with a CG slightly ahead of the center of that range for a slightly nose heavy model to do the Maiden flights and initial trimming, and then adjust the CG back to fit my tastes.

So are you guys using the manual's 2 3/4" back from the leading edge at the wing tip only, or is there a range one might use?

I haven't actually checked mine yet as I have to get a friend to come over and help, I'm just trying to cover my bases....

Thanks!
