Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

my Skybolt is balanced like CustomPC's.....right at 5"...........i did start out at 4 3/8", and new on the first flight it was nose heavy...........took a bunch of up trim and landings were a bit hot.
by the 3rd flight i had almost all of the up trim gone and landings are now trainer like, after removing the 2.5oz of lead off the nose.

the OS91 pulls it very nicely, but i have this urge to put a YS 110 on the nose...............maybe on the next one.

Strangevil29,

this airplane (and 2.4GHz radios) is what brought me back to RC flying after a 15 year layoff...........when i first saw it on Towers site i said "no-way".....the perfect (but hard to do) color scheme, and ove a 1lb lighter than the kit version (mine came out at 7lb 5oz), and it just tracks like a well behaved pattern plane.......you'll love this plane.
