Default RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread

I thought 205 was too far back and set mine at 165mm When I built mine.
I have two and both fly about the same with the cg at 165mm. #1 is heavier then the #2 by 10 ozs
To get the cg that far forward I had to add lead to the nose. The second one I built I did not mount the elevator servos in the stab. I mounted a single servo just aft of the fuel tank and made a carbon fiber push rod system. The plane will now balance at 165mm with no added lead.

All pictures are posted near the begining of this thread.

Weights finished ready to fly less fuel
#1 10lbs 12.75oz
#2 10lbs 2.75oz
