Phillco,

The Direct Connections kit came as a 56" wing span and could be built as 60". Are you sure it is a Direct Connection 10 Dash 300S ARC?

Fiberglass gear with a wood plate glued on that finishes off the bottom of the fuse? Rear of fuse at bottom shaped, not flat slab side?

If so the CG is 5-1/2" back from the leading edge of the top wing. With wings installed. As per page 23 step 1.64.

Throws are:

Ailerons- 1/2" up and down
Rudder- 3" each direction at farthest point
Elevator- 1" up and down measured at front tip of counterbalance.

Please be sure it is the Direct Connections kit and not an Ohio or some other kit. That's not the "standard" wing span as per the kit instructions (but hey, anythings possible). I'd feel bad if you used this CG on the wrong Ultimate and crashed.


Hope this helps,

Scott
