Little update on the Kinetix. First flights video coming.
All the stock throws were bang on with the exception of the Aileron. I added an additional 20% in the Radio. On the manual settings I found it too slow.
Of course this is purely personal preference.

CG Set to the stock location with the included balancer devices. It's a bit nose heavy at that location but perfectly flyable. slight push required on inverted flight to keep it level.
I have about 4-5 OZ in the nose and am slowly removing it each flight now.

Keep in mind that mine is setup with no pilot. If I had a pilot, I would not need any nose weight. My turbine battery (3 cell lipo 3300 Mah) and receiver batteries (2 cell lipo 5000 mah) are on the front of the equipment tray.

I think I have 10 - 12 flights on it now and absolutely loving this plane! It grabs lots of attention at the fields and the white matt finish is Beauty!
Starting to get more aggressive with it now and it's great!
