Default RE: CMP Kits – Problems and Solutions

proulxlaw,

I'm confused. DrV seemed to say that the 8 zeros in his club all used the CG reccommended in the instructions, and that they fly
fine. I have one other friend at my field who has this plane and he also used the CG stated with no problems.

The CG in the instructions locates it right about on the spar, which is usually safe bet.

I am just about finished with one of these, all I have to do is mount the engine, a YS 63, and balance it. You have me scared about
where to locate the CG.

I seems the majority have used the reccommended range. I think I will put it just a bit ahead of the spar and hope for the best. I will let you know what happens.

I'm wondering if there isn't another problem with yours, such as incidence as one person mentioned. Although did you say it has happened to 2 planes? The one you have now, is it a 3rd? Have you flown it yet?
