Allrighty, I'm ready to start moving the CG back on my H9 1/4 Cap232. It is set dead on the manual reccomended starting CG at the moment.

I have heard that this reccomended CG is VERY conservative and that the plane starts to 3D much better as you move it back. Judging from inverted flight, I can go back a good amount.

Where is yours and how much have you moved it back? I've got a CG machine and can check it pretty close. How far back to you go before it becomes too squirly?

I ask because to move the CG back without adding weight, I've got to start moving things including possibly locating the elevator servos in the tail. So I need to get a general idea of how much to move.

Actual user input appreciated.

Try to contact Kitley on this group and ask him about his. I know he is flying with an aft CG and he has ballooning problems during landings. I am having the same with my Giles and we are trying to come up with solutions.

seems to me I was back 1" -1 1/4" if I remember correctly...I'm not sure of your experience level, so all is relative...just remember, it is a Cap....
