Default CG for Hotspot

Hey Brandon,

I just had my first flight on a HotSpot today at Princeton. This thing can be a real missile and a joy to throw around. I used My Wilcox's CG recommendations, chose a line at 7.25" and set it slightly nose heavy from there (dry). It was very manageable, at that setting.

I also set the elevons up 3/8" in level flight and when a little over recommendations on the elevator and aileron throws. My power plant was a TJT-3000 turned down to 115K, still with plenty of power for this model.

Good luck, you are going to have a lotta' fun with this plane.

Kelly
