DRAGONPILOT was are you using for your CG??? 10.5"???
Hi Matt,

Yep is right around there, I shot for 10.3 initially but I haven't checked in a while. I failed to mention that my Bobcat came with 2 3/4" beefier wheels the first kit and the second unbuilt kit were smaller. (see earlier post by me).
In any case, I've got those in the rear and a Greatplanes 2 3/4" rubber tire on the nose gear. (a little more weight up front). I'm going to retracts as soon as I can free up some time with smaller rubber tires and wire struts. The gear hanging down is ok but damn it'll look good without it. And faster. If you're using a bigger volume engine, install a 2 oz hopper. It makes all the difference. Smooth runs, longer flight times. PS, you're looks fantastic, great job with that finish.
