Hi Guys,

I finished my Wildhare G202 this week. I am now looking for that very nice day that a test flight can be done. With March coming on that could be a couple of weeks.

I have been very pleased with how the airplane went together. One problem was with the hatch. It did not fit very well due to a warp. I called Tom Fawcett and he gave me some ideas that took care of most of the warp. I had some concerns on the distance between the spinner backplate and the cowl. It worked out near okay. It is not bad enough to worry about.

I used the weight x arm method to find and set the CG. This works very well and one person can do it using a small handheld scale. The scale is about the same size as a cell phone. It will weigh 0-50 pounds. This is a fish scale and you can also use it to check engine thrust. It has a small handle on the top and a hook on the bottom. Should be real easy to hook the airplane for checking.

My CG is 1 7/8 in front of the center line of the wing tube. I will move it back after some test flights. Total wgt of airplane is 24 lbs and 4 oz. I am using a 14 oz 3000mah battery and this is making it a little on the heavy side. My engine is a 4.2 Taurus that has not been run by me yet. It should fly this airplane just fine. I am not a 3D flyer.

I will post some pictures later.
