Finally, the CG...

We "packed" the 600 mAH battery and Receiver into/under the servo rack with 1/2" foam, putting that stuff rear of the CG hoping to offset that big Saito 100 and the heavy mount. It'll stay there okay, but we'll make it better later with proper racks built in for that harware. With that, the CG is 4-1/2", dead-center of the 4-1/4" to 4-3/4" range the manual calls for. All up, we are dead on 8.0 pounds.

So, with a little fine-touch stuff done, we are ready to light this baby up and fly... Still debating the decals. She probably won't go up for two weeks though, going to China on business. Stay tuned...
