Hi Guys

I'm just learning all this but I spend about 80% time setting up my plane and 20% flying it during the first six months. I was happy with the result until a more experienced pilot test flew it for me.....

I learnt from the start though to test the throws and measure the CG before even going to the field. I can't beleive you would actually fly a plane without knowing exactly where the CG is. And fingers under the wing is no way to test the CG either- hahahaha

I can say though that either my flying is improving or the work done on the plane has made it better or maybe both!!!! I have moved the recommended CG significantly rear from the manuals recommended - but I started from the manuals recommended CG. No guessing for me - it's just too bloody expensive!!!

80/20 - thats the recipe for success in pattern flying....
