RE: CMP giant scale Zero build
I maidened mine today. All went pretty well. I felt it was a little tail heavy as I had to feed in down elevator trim as the flight went on. Bold Pilot was right on about the 1/8" down elevator with full flaps that worked perfect. For the CG I had to add about a pound and a half of weight to balance. I mixed steel BB's in a ounce and a half of slow set epoxy and filled in the front insided perimeter of the cowl. It worked well. The motor is a 3 cu in. AirHobbies twin cylinder. Retracts are SpringAir 400 series.
The Emperor would be proud.
