Default Comp Arf Lightning CG where.....

Hey guys

Can anyone chip in with their CG position on the Lightning, I have set it as per the Manual at 50mm in front of the center of the wing spar tube hole, without the wings on etc etc.

I found it had a strong tendancy to drop the nose in a turn and inverted, and could not sustain knive edge flight (ok may need more rudder...)

I usually fly 3D (not with this model!!) or at least I try, and am used to an aft ish CG, I am going to move it back so just very interested to see where you guys end up setting the CG.

Thanks in advance for any info
