Hi Carl,

My first SE I started with the CG as recommended (3.5"). I eventually moved it back to 4" and then to about 4.25-4.5. If I hadn't sold the plane (after about 130 flights on it), I would have played around with adding small amounts of weight to the tail until I got it perfectly balanced for extreme activity!

I am about an hour away from having my second SE completed and I will start with the CG at 4'' back and go from there. I have my used but awesome Saito 72 ready to mount.

You will love this plane!
Jim
