Finally got my Caleb in the air. With lots of work, I have it dialed in. I was wrong about the CG thing. The suggested CG from Baudis will give you a very forgiving model, but not much fun to fly. Sal's suggestion for CG is closer to what I have come up with, but I can only use 1/2 the control throws on the elevator that he suggested. If I use the suggested elevator control throws, 1/3 up elevator gives a nasty tail stall. I am actualy a little farther aft than Sal said, with much less elevator throw. Now it flys where I point it. I also did a lot of shimming on the front of the stablizer. This got rid of a lot of nose down trim needed to make it fly right.

I am happy with the model. it flys great. fast and slow. I have not flown any other F5F gliders, but if they fly as nice as this one does, I am hooked.

As far as NES, I will most likely never buy from them again. I have made 3 calls on a spinner that has been on backorder from over 6 months ago. They keep saying they will look into it and call me right back. No word yet. I have also tried to get a hold of Sal to ask him some questions on the Caleb. Again, 3 calls over a weeks period of time. Every time I get "he is on the other line, If you give me your number, he will call you right back". Nothing yet.

Just my experiences.
