Default RE: Long ez 46 engine mounting question.

There ya go. Firwst time I've heard anything about balane from anyone. Glad I did mine without fuel, Stands to reason that after a flight its going to to be almost empty anyway. I think the CG on this plane is very wide anyway. I know from speaking to a lot of Model manufacture's that they all show a well forward CG for the shear reason that it makes the model more stable. I have found that I can shift the CG back on most of the planes I fly and they are fine, just a little less forgiving if you get too slow or use too much elevator throw. I remeber talking to Bubba Spivey of Laneir about the Giant Stinger's CG and he flew his with the CG almost 5 inches behind where it was shown on the plans. But he owned the CO and had an endless supply of kits.
