Is anyone out there running with the CG set at 205 mm like it says to do in the instruction manual? I've combed this thread, and it seems that no except Jason is running at much over 195 mm from the leading edge.
Also, is anyone running with aileron differential to compensate form the offset hinge line, or is equal up & down travel the norm?
I just finished mine tonight: YS170, Hatori pipe and header, Hyde ARIA mount (this adds nose weight.)
Futaba 6014Rx, BLS451's on ailerons, BLS351 on rudder 3421SA's in stabs.
15x12x4 APC and True Turn spinner.
It is so nose heavy it isn't funny! I sure hope it needs to be at 185mm because it's going to take an effort just to get it there.
I have not weighed it yet. It sure feels light... but only the scale will tell. I was planning to use an 1100mah A123 battery unregulated.
I may be forced to change the spinner... but I'll see how far back I can get the battery. Also a 2 bladed prop may weigh less...
Quality is "okay" but not stellar. I am quite happy how it turned out however. Incidences etc seem to be a-okay.
