Thx Ed -

I get the comment on the CG - the closer my fingers (holding up the wing) are to the LE the more docile, the farther back the more the fun. Dean Pappas wrote / published some pretty thorough trimming stuff that includes the CG issues. Good read.

I'm cheap and want to keep this "club trainer" cheap so I'm trying to keep the upgrades "from the bench" so to speak. My engines include the Evo, Saito 82, Super Tiger 90, OS 91 FX, Saito 91, Saito 100. I used the Evo 52 on my Avistar and it's speed was too much for a club trainer. Gonna have to mess with props and maybe radio throttle limits to keep the top speed down for the "throttle to the wall" novice. The 82 is slated for my ShowTime 50, the OS 91 for my Kadet Sr, the Saito 91 for my 4Star60 and the Saito 100 for my Hog Bipe. There is also an OS 61 FX waiting for me to finish my Bridi Killer Chaos 60. As you can see, the Evo ain't got a home

I've flown the Evo 52 and a Dubro 12 oz tank in the Avistar & Tiger 2 (RIP) and carburation & flight time is fine.

Back to the dungeon ...
