I finally maidened my BF109 today and was pretty happy. The pictures are in early morning sun so the colors are a little dark. I have a Saito 180 in this bird with Shinden retracts with modified position to bring them more forward and toward the middle. It was a pretty clean flight except for a very sensitive elevator. I am not sure if the CG is too far back or just too much throw. I am curious as to other who have flown this plane as to where they set the CG and throws. I have my CG at 112mm back from the leading edge and 15mm of throw. I hate to change the CG too much as the landing was very nice with flaps. It slowed down fairly well and didn't tend to nose over on take off or landing. I had had to cut my flying short as the internal baffler on the muffler fell off during the flight and I lost tank pressure and high end RPM so need to replace this part and give it another go. John
