Default RE: PERIGEE Prototype Kit Build

Really? I built mine from the original A.M drawings and had trouble getting the c.g. far enough back... and thats with an LA .46 up front. As for the glide, well you can cut the power up high and do the full schedule on the glide. Yes, the thing will snap roll, but it needs a deliberate abuse of the controls to do so. As for the airfoil, it has a little camber, but then so does Orion, Taurus, Hog, just about all of the contempories... Landing , well you have to get the idle real low or it will just keep going, sounds like Wm has had a rearward cg, cause it's actually hard to fault the model...
