1lb, that's a lot...that's on top of retracts ?
You might as will install a bigger engine becuase you're going to need the power to pull it.
That's a brick, brick.
there's my question, if you install a bigger/heavier engine, doesn't that change the cg? then how do you find cg when the formula doesn't ask for weight?
you guys are great and have helped a lot, and i'm sorry if i'm a pain, what i am doing is looking at the hanger 9 corsair, there's a thread on it under RTF/ARF with over 1900 posts. there's several posts about the cg being wrong, (among other things) but some say it's right and this is what's got me confused, the specs call for a 100 fs engine and they're installing 120's or 125's. so how are they finding the cg with the heavier nose weight than what ther manufacturer is calling for?
