I just bought this plane and I typically use 25% of max cord near the fuse , however there is a very long build thread and everyone in the thread and that I have Pm me swears the plane is a cream puff to fly , a gem on the ground and the best value you can get .
The CG was stated to me "follow the plans there dead on "

The only repeated suggestion I received was replace the steering wheel strut (its sucks ) and either add down thrust to the engine or the tail because the plane will clime in its stock configaration
