Well Gentleman,

The main was the CG should be @ 6 inches behind the LE – my buddy says it should be a bit nose heavy.

HE GOT A LOT EXPERIENCE UNDER HIS BELT….

I don’t know exactly what to do…..?????


Number one for you Pete:
I see on regular bases “builder” with 20 years + experience, and their aircrafts look very bad and fly horrible. But with their experience on their models – these guys manage to bring that airplane down…

Number two:
This is a Hangar 9 ARF and I can assure you guys when you set that Aircraft on the Hangar 9 recommended CG – this plane will fly and it is easy to maneuver.

Number three:
There is no comparison ARF to kits, because the builder can make many mistakes. You change incidence on the wing or horizontal stab – you have to move around the CG to get that airplane fly a straight line without having 5 degree on the elevators up or down.


To sum that up, it’s always best to ask pilots who own your model and ask them for their experience. With that info and may some internet opinions you may be able to form your own…..



Happy landings (works well when the CG is right)

G-Pete
