Default imp Macchi

this is a good news bad news situation. The CG for the Macchi is right at 25%. We flew the Macchi this weekend and the ST 3250 powered it up just fine . At about 150' alttitude the engine sputtered and died. The plane has a great glide ratio but we did n't quite make it back to the runway. Kknocked the gear out but it will be ready to fly again this weekend.
