Default Sukhoi CG

akflyer-Sorry to hear about your wild first flight, it must have taken some superior airmanship to bring her back in one piece.

Since the posts above indicate some changes made by Ohio during the production run, maybe we should start with making sure your plan CG agrees with ours. The plan measurement I show is 5 and 7/16" behind the leading edge of the wing. This is for kit #130 1999 version with the 84" wing. The other thing I noticed while constructing the tail- the horizontal stabilizer lower cradle was precut to the wrong incidence angle. It took alot of reshaping to get it at 0 degrees to match the wing.

How much does yours weigh? That Michigan fellow had trouble with tip stalls when loaded to 25lbs.

Haven't flown mine yet so can't help you with a good CG. Really interested to see how yours turns out though.
