Default RE: GP Super Stearman CG Location

I'm the orginal poster and I thank everyone for there replies. I stand by by opening remarks. I test flew the plane at 5.5" and it was extremely tail heavy. After the initial flight I added 12 ounces, which moved the CG forward to 4.1" or about 27% MAC. After this correction it flew great. I also reduced the airleron throw for both upper and lower wings to +/- 1 1/8 inches. The plane is powered by an OS 1.08 engine which is more than needed.
