Default RE: Best way to find CG?

Hope you have many good flights, Ive been getting better with mine and can now fly it in smaller places (IE the vacant lot next door).

The only problem is getting it turned around, in feild thats a few acreas (thats how big the field I normally fly in is) its no problem but in the 150x100' foot lot next door its quite a close call. You cant do much more than flying the plane from one end to the other in a lot that small but on days that I cant go to the big feild its plenty fun.

Tommorow night I think im going to practice landing it, so far ive just been hand launching and belly landing but my cowl is gotten pretty messed up (ive got 2 extra though) and the bottom of the fuse it getting all stained up from the grass so Im going to try some rolling takeoffs and real landings.
