Default RE: New CMP 50-sized Corsair

Well, finally got the plane finished up. Took it out yesterday for it's first flights and it flew great. Changes I made besides the paint was to put 3% down thrust in it and I'm using an old OS 61 engine that runs very good. As for the down thrust, the plans show 3% but the firewall doesn't have it in it so I used washers on the motor mount to get the correct angle. With the the larger engine I got by using only 7 oz of weight instead of the 14 oz I orginally had. Also the CG is set at 3".
