Default RE: a few questions following the MINARE's maiden flight

Dominik,

could be...even my f3d planes were very smooth on the controls...no exponential needed.

the plans (from the kitter...not the original) said to put the cg at 4 3/8 but I ended up at around 4 1/2 - 4 5/8" seemed negligible to me.
I already had to put a heavy brass hub and brass nut on the nose...so much for a light engine.
any extra weight in the front and I might as well just install a 60 / 61 sized motor.
I am guilty of putting too much bondo and paint on the tail.
