Hi Cubano8 .... Boy she looked real sharp in the pictures you had .Thats what I like about this plane .I think its the best looking one out there . When I started flying I bought a Top Flight one someone had put together . It looked beatiful but being new I was scared to fly her . Then somebody made me an offer on her I couldnt refuse so I sold it ...Wish I hadnt now ..I can now fly the wings off of 2 P-51s I have now and a Texan .Litterally fly the wings off one time .I was getting to brave and was doing a flyby so the wife could tape the plane .I was coming around 25 feet off the deck banked and never noticed the 27 foot tree . OPPS >>>L.O.L... It made a pretty cool video thow .Old Super Tigre screaming away then WHACK SMACK BOOM BANG ..I still jump everytime we watch it ...Anyway . Did you like the way the plane was constructed ?? Everything look glued solid ?? Does it look as nice in person ??
There was a link I found on another site that mentioned your build .He thought that part of your problem was being electric in yours he said with a Fuel powered plane you balance them with the tank empty . Then you add 10oz of fuel to her that adds weight to the nose . With electric you wouldnt have that extra weight .So he sugested moving the CG forward I think 1/2 and adjust from there ..With the tank empty of course .Does this sound reasonable to you ?? He said his flew well ..
I have read a post on the CMP Zero in the same size range and that fellow also said his CG was off to ?? Makes a guy wonder whats up .Maybe CMP should address this ..My Texan was a Ebay Special ..The instruction were terrible ..The CG looked way off to me so I moved it forward about 3/4 of an inch .It was a little nose heavy so I bounced it back a 1/4 and it flys pretty nice .It isnt a CMP I dont think ((( Came in a no name box ..But a real nice plane ))) Had a bunch of World Model parts with it ...
Ive got a OS FS48 looking for a home ..That should power the P-40 pretty well wouldnt you think ?? Think it would have enought room in there with out butchering the Cowling ?? I also have a Super Tigre 45. The 4 stroke would sound nice thow ...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!
