Default RE: E-flight AT-6 TEXAN?

Several of the guys at our field have them. We found that the CG needed to be forward a little bit. It was best right on the middle of the main wing-tube to avoid tail heavy flying characteristics. This would put it about 1/4" forward of the CG specified in the instructions.

I was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences. It is a small plane and the CG distances that can make huge differences can therefor be relatively small.

The guys that are going for the full-flap-retract-pilot-cockpit-detail options are fitting 32 outrunner E-Flite motors. All in all it is a work of art that is closely followed by their Taylorcraft 450's

Regards,

Eric.
