Yes ''da Rock'', it´s so simple that even an idiot like me can use it!
But to my defense, I do feel like a Wright brother right now...
I somewhat recalled reading somewhere that you should take aerodynamic forces into account, but don´t remember any dept/truth about that.
But as you and several others has pointed out, easiest way is to start safe and work the rest out by flying.
I don´t doubt all of those that have given us the math to work these things out, I just started to doubt my self!
I thank you all for your help!
lol... I just re-read my post and I see why you feel the necessity for defense. Very sorry, my post does seem to be all over you. CG is something I'm usually crusading hard about. The majority of modelers really get uptight about it and go too far about it. And I wind up over selling the simplicity of finding a really safe range for it.
It really is something that won't be risky at all with just a couple of things. Plot a CG range with something like geistware, and be aware that's just a starting point.
Wish I could be there to see the maiden.
No worries!
I´m not easy to offend and I always try to see what the person is trying to tell me, but I can´t pass up a good joke even if it´s on me.
I have started to weigh it in now and apparently I didn't have much to play with... But I will try to make it have a static margin of 10%, it´s about 5% right now.
The plane is built using a stabilator so it should have all the pitch authority that I could ever need anyway.
Yeah, I wish you could be here too! But I take it slowly and see how she handles.
Thank you for helping me sort out my nerves, they are not as balanced as my plane right now...
