So I've watched many videos that seem to work around the 200N range without any issues taking off, I've read not to use full power until in the air lol, so it has me slightly confused. I could install a 300N but it's est to weigh around 45-47lbs (20.4kg), having 65+lbs of thrust seems to be taking it well more than I need. Thomas Gleissner flew this Gripen so there should no surprises as long as I'm making that CG and I get my rates and flightmodes set up correctly.
On my Gripen you can see where the CG is marked.
