Default RE: *Seagull Extra 260 90 ARF*


ORIGINAL: zaboaa

Mine is complete, but while breaking in my newly rebuilt Saito 125 it threw a rod so had to send it back o Horizon. What CG are using for 3D with this set-up? Thanx
I've balanced at wing TIP:

I've tried the CG between 6.5cm to 9.5cm (2 1/2" - 3 3/4" ) starting at 7.5cm
My current CG is just over 8cm (3 1/4" ) and APC 16 x 4W Prop
I find adding a 25g weight in between the stab supports is easier to prop hang

I really haven't measured the CG at the fuselage, but I think, going by other posts somewhere it's about 14cm (5 1/2" )
The manual says 7-8cm at wing tip
