ORIGINAL: extra 300
Can anyone advise if ordinance and missiles will have a significant impact during flight both for stability and CG?
Thanks. Dany
I have the Xtreme jets Rafale wich had the same issue on take off, you will need to move the main gear as far forward as possible and chage the nose strut to a longer one. i modified the skymaster nose strut to make it 1 1/4 inches longer putting the fuse at 5 degrees positive incidence. I have my CG at 140 and i use full canards through out the entire flight and they are set to 25mm up and down, for your first few flights turn them off and mix them in as you get some time on the airframe.
I fly with the wing tip missles and a centerline wet tank for smoke and no trim change is needed, with the wing tanks you will need a decent amount up elevator to level her out in normal flight. I have not added the Mica missles and mounts at this time.
