Default RE: CMPro Extra 330L 50 size

Thanks for the picture. I too had read many posts on how bad the plane was, but I had to take this with a grain of salt. One guy said he had the CG set at 96mm back like the book said, but from the wing tip!! Holy cow! No wonder it flew so horribly!! This is well over 50% back!! I am no expert on CG, but have done enough research to know that 25-30% back is a good start. When I first recieved the kit (before I read anything on it) I thought it was put together very well. I was surprised to hear so much negativity.

I think it is great that you go flying with your son. I have extended the offer to my father, but he has declined so far. [] He did call the other day and ask me if they still make kits you build from scratch. I pointed him in the right direction, and hope that building may get him interested in the hobby (I hope he asks me what he should build, just in case he gives it to me!!).

Keep the video's and pictures coming. I enjoy seeing them. The weather down here is going to be to cold for me to fly down here for at least the next couple of days.
