Guys, I wish I had found this site sooner, four of us in our club decided to build the Skip Mast C-130. We meet on Wednesday nights, have pizza & beer and work on the plane. At first we got a lot complished but as time wore on two guys stopped working on their airplane but continued to to come to the wednesday night meetings.
Well, I have mine ready to fly, but I don,t know the CG, it is not marked on the plans. The other guy is just about ready for his first flight. So we are at a stand still. I hope someone out there can help with the balance point.
As I said this is from Skip Mast plans, My Herky bird is powered with 4 OS LA 40's and weighs 22 1/4 lbs. I have installed the flaps but from what I have read in this thread they may not be needed. Ideas? flying tips?
I have been very impressed with the models you guys are building. As I said I wish I had found this site sooner. I was a Herky Loadmaster with 50th, from 68 to 71 flying out of CCK Taiwan. This airplane is special to me.
Thanks, my e-mail is [email protected]
