Default RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!

Thanks ! I didn't really do much to "make it mine"- Just the regular kit with the graphics package. it is pretty huh? lol **I love it!!**

My C/G is dead center on the wing tube- I usually start right at the back of the recommended range, but this plane is just too pretty to risk a "too tail heavy maiden"
I don't know where I want the C/G to be, I let the plane tell me that- What I am looking for is a 45*inverted upline that is roughly 95% neutral. Just a touch- no wait- just a "breath" of down elevator to keep her inverted is where I want to be.

Another thing that will determine the C/G is how it behaves in KE after I have established the "right C/G"

I don't know if this is all right, but I have learned a lot from a lot, and have applied most of it, and it usually works. so I've stuck with it.

After all that hot air, I would say to set initial C/G in the middle of the tube- I would also leave some adjustment in where the batteries are mounted, so you can move them aft easily if it suits you. GOOD LUCK! KM
