Two questions:

1. The manual for the Slasher says 2 1/4" - 2 3/4" back for the CG. "Back" from what point? The leading edge of the wing?

2. I went the cheap route and got a GMS 32. I ran it for the first time last night and all went well...considering the price and country of origin. The problem is you can't shut the thing down from the radio! Who made such a silly engineering move and why? All combat I've seen to this point, the folks shut the engine down before touching down...any options?...or do I just stock up on props and plow the field on landing?
