<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Yeah CG is an issue. We had set the elevator and wing incidence to 0/0 but found both planes on a good climb so needed down trim, almost like tail heavy but no other indications as the elevator control was absolutely brilliant. Needed much less elevator pull in the turns compared to my Mig 29 but airframe was not pitchy.<o></o></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">My only concerns were that we did not seem to get the alpha up on the landing. The 240 mm CG is right on the front spar which is where I would have expected to see it and it is the same as Mario.<o></o></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Sorry no video as we having too much fun, sick of trying to watch planes through a view finder, but will try and get some at the next meeting in South Australia in 4 weeks.<o></o></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">As for the radar pod and balance pod on the fin, sure they are not true scale but make great push handles!!!!!</span></p>
