Default RE: What went wrong?

On the funtana 40\50. moving the CG from 125-127 mm to 130-132 will not have any noticable difference. If you read the threads on the Funtana 40, guys are running their CG about 5.75 to 60 in. ( 140 to 150mm about). got the CG on my funatna 40 about 145mm back. they do tend to drop a wing from time to time. Just thinking you may have droped the throttle a bit too far back. just a thought.

What is strange is it has never done that before. I think it has something to do with the balance, bothe horizontal and lateral. Actually it tipped to the side the engine is mounted on. THe engine is side mounted. You think over 1-1/2 pounds of engine leaning on one side would effect it. Anway, when i had my fl 70 4c in it it never did that, i also had the balance right on at 130. I am thinking that if i balanced it at the moment it would be between 125-127mm. To nose heavy IMO.
