Hi Guys,

Thanks for the waiting. I had a blast at best in the West, especially flying my desert camp F5 up against the best pilot in the world Ali on a F14! Luckily my Viper call sign lived up to the test.

The C.G is 4.5" from the wing's front section that merged with the wing (the black line on the photo). or approximately 60% from the front edge of the air brake.



Hope this will help. Also to reduce nose weight, I only fuel the top tank about 70% fuel. With the main tanks and 70% fuel on top tank, I am able to fly for about 7 minutes, with 40% fuel left on main with a JETCAT 160SX.

Mike
