Default Discussion - Typhoon C of G and stock throws

Does anyone know where the C of G should be on the Typhoon ?

And what are the stock high and low rate throws ?

For the maiden I would like it to just do some sports flying and get used to it so I don't need it too far back LOL

Thanks

Found it -

Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder Throws
The recommended throws in low rate are:
Ailerons: +/- .75 inches (20mm)
Elevator: +/- 1.40 inches (35mm)
Rudder: +/- 1.00 inch (25mm)
The recommended throws in high rate are:
Ailerons: +/- 1.25 inches (30mm)
Elevator: +/- 2.00 inches (50mm)
Rudder: +/- 2.00 inches (50mm)
Your Typhoonâ„¢ 3D PNP should fly great between these ranges.

I forget the exact CG location but I would jam the stock battery as far forward as I could for sport flying and put it back farther for 3D stuff. There's not a lot of room to move it in either direction so you should be safe for flying pretty much anywhere.

I don't have the stock battery as the PnP version does not include one. I've taken a different pack which is the same length and height as the recommended one and added the extra 20g to the centre of the pack. As it will not slide forwards or backwards it has to be the same C of G as the one mentioned in the manual. I know there is effectively some dead weight in there but I'd rather be fairly sure of a correct C of G for now.

Thanks
