Default RE: Extreme Flight Vanquish 2m Build Thread

ORIGINAL: Flyer88

Is there a specific reason why you cannot find the CG for this plane posted on the companys website or in the manual ????

Is it top secret[&:]

Very odd............................
What's a manual?

Seriously, having just assembled my 4th 2-meter pattern model I have yet to see a manual. Search RCU (this thread will yield a few hits) and google and you will find some guidance.

Part of the reason there is no specific information is because CG and incidence are highly subjective numbers based upon flying style and trimming philosophy. Some very good pilots will fly it with CG ranging from 25% to 33% of MAC and with incidence ranging from 0.4deg to 1.0deg. Some do not hesitate to use computer mixes, others abhor them.

Consult your local experts. You have some very high caliber pattern fliers who I am sure will be glad to assist!
