RE: CMP Zero balance??
I moved everything as far forward a possible. I made a bracket to mount the battery in the cowl. Mine balances at 145mm. Its a great flying plane, very responsive. It does not slow down on landing so I installed flaps. Just put two flights on it yesterday. Really sweet. I also installed Robart air retracts. I am going to put 3.5 inch wheels in it. Stock just look to small and I fly off grass. Mine is about 11 pounds and has a very slow gentle stall.
I fly at 1/2 throttle with a 108 and 15x6 APC. I think a Saito 100 or OS 91fx would be fine. There are some other threads in ARF if you do a search.
I hate the paint though.
