Does anyone know what the C.G. is for the Jemco SBD? I am in the process of restoring a previously build plane and am looking for the CG.
Thanks,
Mark
OK, found it. CG is not mentioned in the manual (even tho the recommended control throws are), but it is indicated in the drawings: I measured 4 13/16" back from where the wing leading edge meets the fuselage. No range is specified.

BTW: mine will be built as a -3, with Battle of Midway makings/ scheme. It will also be electric powered (Silent But Deadly). I have the fuselage nearly completed, tail feathers completed, wing cenetr section completed (including retract installation). Need to do the outer wings, will probably complete the entire thing next winter (2009 ~ 2010)
