Default RE: Balancing the cg?


ORIGINAL: Jim C.

Where can I find one of these Trainers with retracts???
LOL that was my inital thought
I've read before that the diffrence is minute.... If it is that major, I know I would check both ways so I didnt have a nasty surprise when I would drop the wheels....where can I read the facts on this??? never really researched it due to the fact I doubt I will ever own anything with retracts. as they are just something else to fail.[&:]

That has pretty much been my feeling on retracts too, but I just couldn't resist the Warbirds.[&:] I have a new P-51 coming in the mail from Nitro Planes. I guess I better find out the correct answer to this question too as I am going to need it very soon! This will be my first Warbird & of course my first adventure with retracts as well. I hope mine goes better than some of my friends adventures with them have. I already had a look at the manual that comes with the plane because the plane arrived but I had to send it back for a new one because of some damage to the main wing. I didn't see anything saying to balance it one way or the other regarding the wheels up or down. So I will depend on our good friends right here in RCU to take care of me once again with the answer to this question.
