whats the recommended CG for the FB Hawker Hunter?
Hello,
After about a dozen flights with new Hunter. I determined that the 105-110 mm CG is perfect!
The fuel burn-down during flight will transition the CG toward the aft point I've listed. The aircraft has absolutely zero bad handling qualities at these points.
The only weak point on this design is the landing gear carbon mounting area's! As delivered, the factory is not generous with the application of their version of HYSOL?
I strongly recommend removal of the flap area to drill HYSOL access points along the trailing edge to ensure a good coating of HYSOL along the gear plate box area's that you can not reach thru the gear areas!
Good luck with your build, it is otherwise a very strong structure.
