Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

@ orangepeal: it's just fantastic to se a bipe "smoking"!! I first fitted the engine compartment with lead to get che correct CG, just unuseful weight. I had a 12V pump, so I bought a brushed motor controller, plugged on a free channel in my RX and that's it!
I suggest you maiden your Skybolt first, then you may thing about of fitting a smoke system. For your first flight, just set the CG on the foremost point. It will surely be nose-heavy but that's OK, it will be very easy to handle and and will land on its own! Get confident with your bird and gradually remove weight to shift CG back till you feel the model is really yours.

@ rock: You just did right, informing other modellers of these issues is very important!! Thank you!!
