Hi Guillermo

Are you flying with CG at 175mm? I went just to 160mm.

I also set-up my planes with UAT full, gear down and empty tanks, but since the fuel tanks are far away forward the CG, at take off the plane is quite nose heavy and during fliht as fuel is burnt, the CG will move back almost till it's original setting (160 mm in my case with no fuel). 175mm could be an interesting number to test. Do you know if any one tested it before with sucess?

Anyway, I still believe that the best setting will be to relocate the fuel tanks to a more neutral position and make those with less lenght and more height (valid set-up for tail mounted turbines)

Regards

Nuno
Hi Nuno:

Not yet because my maiden is in 15 days.

My set up will be at 170 mm initially with the UAT full, gear down and front or header tank at 50%
