Default Somethin Extra C.G.

Hi Guys,

I am finished assembling my Sig SE ARF, except for installing the engine (OS .46 FX). It looks like I will not be able to get it to balance at the recommended c.g. of 3.5" back fro leading edge by moving the engine. It will probably balance at 4" back or more.

I plan to drill the engine holes to get a c.g. greater than 3.5', and add spinner weights to the nose. Then, when I get more comfortable with the model, I'll take the nose weights off.

What is a good c.g. for the SE after getting used to it. I have read several posts that the recommended c.g. is mild.


Thanks,

Carl
