So, still a bit nose heavy... maybe 225-230mm, that´s my guess where the spot point is.

j.c.a.-read the first pages of this thread. Alex 48 built a Hawk100 with lights.

I install lights in mine but the 100 are not the same.

regards

I did the first flight at 230mm cg, but I did not quite like the feel. I moved my batteries forward and am at 220 if not maybe 222mm. I like the feel for me better now. My takeoffs were exactly what I wanted with the nose gear liftoff with the mains following shortly afterwards. Nice scale looking takeoffs. The landing were nose high also but flying off grass, the nose gear settled quick because of the grass being thick and taller then normal.
