I just purchased a Midwest AT-6 Texan with a Saito 1.20 and Robart retract system. The plane has never flew and the engine never fueled. I consider this a lucky find since it's very detailed with full scale features. My question(s): What is the balance point for this aircraft and where do I measure from....Front of wing leading edge or front of wheel well? The gentleman I bought this from loaded the nose with lead apparently to make it balance but I must be sure he was acurate. Also, what weight should this plane be at for normal scale flight? And finally....how many pounds of air should I pump int the two cans in the retract system? I tried at 80 lbs. and the system worked fine..but for how long? Should I pump more?
For those of you who have this plane and care to help me out....many, many thanks.
