Default CG on carden 35% edge

I have been flying mine for about a year now and finally settled at the 5 3/4" back from LE at the wingtip. This is where Dennis says that alot of people are flying them. I love the way mine flies with the CG at this point. It requires just a tisch of down inverted and flies great. They torque roll great if you know what to do. Mike McConville had mine torque rolling about 2' off the ground, was awesome to see...

Mine also came out tail heavy and I had to add some nose weight. I actually ended up moving my battery packs up within the front motor box area and adding a little lead on the top of the motor box. From what I understand it is quite common for these to be tail heavy or at least that is my understanding. I am finishing a second right now and have put K&S cans in it so I think that will alleviate the tail heavy problem. At least I hope it does.

Good Luck
