hey larry,

thanks for the reply. yeah i'm measuring as close to the fuselage as i can get. i'm thinking of moving the reciever right below the main landing gear. i also read that you could move the engine further up on the mount but, wouldn't that look pretty weird sticking so far out of the cowling? what about spinner weights? or do you think i should just go with 4 3/4 cg? thanks again
