Thanks for the mini review YNOT. You tell us what it does and doesn't do well. You probably have more power than anybody so it sounds like the plane handles that well too. I'm betting a YNOT approved plane would be one I like as well.

Drumbum, so...you were thinking of moving the CG forward? I'm balancing mine tonight so your timing is good. Well, not the crash but the CG info. I'm releying on you to give me a starting point. The manual says 7 7/16". Where would you suggest as a starting point?
Thanks,
Barry
i would try it at recomended as i did but dont cut the other side of the treaded rod off on the rudder just incase you have to go pull pull.. mine did everything fine but harriers.. harriers had wing rock.. but my tail also mushed around like it was slightly tail heavy on occasion.. I put the lead up front an could hold full deflection in harrier without wing rock. so I was just going to switch it to pull pull to fix it. mine was flying so light that when i went to full deflection on elevators at rcomended that it would eathier wing rock when slow enough to harrier or when jsut slight throttle was added it would just go vertical.. there was no happy medium.. so I was attributing the wing rock to the fact that if i was going slow enough to get in that position that it was just not enough airspeed ..(if that makes since) .. so my conclusion was move the weight around (slightly) the guys with the heavier motors are flying a heavier plane which it seems like is helpng tthe wing rock. only the guys with the lighter motors were complaining about it on this thread..
