vrhoward1122,
I found the cg on the skybolt to be very conservative. i have ordered the pilot
for the skybolt from great planes( 1/5 scale) it weighs 1.6 oz. i found that if i put the pilot in the canopy at the rear then this will bring the balance back the rearward position of 5" i think then it will fly a lot better. mine took a bit of up trim and when i rolled the skybolt inverted and went to a 45 deg upline it pulled right out. this tells me she is too nose heavy at 4.75" i will post my results if i can get out to the field this weekend and try it. the pilot should be here this week. that is just what i found and i know that many others noticed that about the balance on this forum also. oh yeah, i agree with the antenna wire tube, it took me over a hour to get that sucker down there. by far the hardest part of assembly.
