sorta - --once you are able to simply vector (with thrust) - then the CG is of little importance
for some reason -this thought makes some guys crazy-
Why?
If all I was doing was flying models like the p51 I flew this weekend - which flew pretty close to upper limits of it;s lift), I would be careful to keep cg forward --and add up trim as needed
as it was the p51 was not too bad (not too good either) -but how in the world the BARF mfgr expects the novice to handle it- especially when it was suppose to have a smaller, lighter engine --is beyond me -- they say " be sure to balance". yeh, right -
This is the kind of model I used to see in this forum where the owner would ask " will flaps make my P51 fly better ?"
The answers were never the correct one .
which is:
Nothing will help it --it is too damn heavy and you haven't enough power.
