Hi everyone, I searched for phoenix 8 and the search led me to this forum. I have just completed the longest project that I started 30 yrs ago, this was my second airplane I started to build was the Phoenix 8. Well after 30 years it is just about ready to fly, finally, equipped with O.S. 61 FX and Kraft electric tri-gear retracts. My only concern is the balancing, it seems to be tail heavy, but I lost he plans long ago and don't know where the balance point is. Can someone help? How far back from the leading edge of the wing at the side of the fuselage? I also was wondering about the overall weight and if someone could offer their opinion on how it would fly, with this bird weighing in at 8 1/2 lbs. I am new at this but will try and post a picture.
