Well darn... took my big Tiger Moth with the Ryobi to the flying field today, and decided it was just too windy for a test flight. (About 15 gusting to 25 or so.) Oh well.

The airplane needed 5 ounces of weight on the engine to balance where recommended. I probably could have moved the battery and fuel tank forward and not had to add the weight, but I got lazy. 5 ounces isn't much with this much wing area. I'm running Gas/Glow, so anyone wanting to do this plane with a Ryobi on electronic ignition would probably find the c.g. falling exactly right with no added weight anywhere.

On the ground test run, my throttle servo failed in the full open position! Sure glad that decided to happen on the ground and with the plane tied down! Wouldn't be too much fun flying around at full throttle for 20 or 30 minutes until it ran out of gas!!

I'll let you know when I do get to test fly it.
