Default RE: Genesis basic kit (Electric build)

That would explain why my ARF is on the heavy side, mine is a converted glow version.

I have question for you guys who are flying them though. Where are your leading and trailing edges in relation to the reference 'dimples' on the side of the fuse? For both the wing and the stab...

I set mine up exactly how you guys posted here and I have a wicked push to the wheels in knife edge. I moved the CG forward, but didn't like the stall, so I moved it back. I cranked down the incidence on the wing as far as I can, and it still pushes with left rudder, and just a touch with right... so it's finally close enough to mix out. As far as motor thrust, the spinner back plate is almost dead nuts on... so close that it couldn't be a factor, that is if it's off at all. In level flight though, it doesn't act like there is a thrust issue... cruise flight, chop the power... it flies straight ahead... bring the power up again... nothing, just straight.

I can mix it out, but I'm wondering if my wing wasn't put in the right spot... I think, and I would have to go put the plane together to be sure so don't quote me yet, that the wing might be low, and that could cause the wicked pitching... though even if it is, it couldn't be enough to affect it that much could it?

Otherwise great flying airplane... really presents well.
