hi all just need a Little help here, i have had the plane now for about 4 weeks now and getting used to it very well now, but on a lot of the 3D stuff it does not do them very well i think i have got the CG to far forward i think its set had about 105mm, the thing is it wont go dead flat on the spins and the blender, i was just seeing what every one else had theres set up to i here you can put it back to about 130mm but i just wanted to here from you guys before i move the CG back.
Thanks
Antony

Wiz,
At 110mm the formula feels well nose heavy,
flying mine at 120mm, totally different plane,
Safest way is set the CG to 116, and try it there, for the first flight only fly half
the tank out, next flight fly out 3/4 of the tank etc till you get used to it. (at 120mm and a full tank your CG is still below 110mm with the tank full)
If your happy, move the CG to 120mm, and again fly half the tank out, etc
you will find out where you are happy with the plane, safely this way.
At 120mm it handles more like a fun fly , and it lands at less than 5 mph, but it will tend to float on.
Have had 28 flights so far, had to change the metal wing bolts as they were loosening with the vibes(lost one bolt in flight)
Just checked my CG it's at 123mm dry, and I fly the tank out .
Another 2 flights and I will try the CG at 125 mm,
Rudder and elevator movements, on high rates go for all the movement you can get, I
have 45 to 50 degree on both(using 50% expo on high)

I dont know your planes tendencies because i am not familiar with it. But I do know that tail heavier planes sit into flat spins harriers and hovers better and eaiser than nose heavy ones. Also if you can increase your elevator throw. It will help pull the tail down in the spin.
