Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I think I have 40 degrees or almost that.

I loved your flap configuration, Mike. I think I will copy it, if you don´t mind... just don´t know if mine can reach 90 degrees, but if I get 60/70 is also good in a crow mix. I will try.

Added to the right CG and a wheel brake system, it will be still better.

Dave, nice job on that cockpit. I had a rear CG issue on mine.

I installed everything less batteries more to the rear cause I thought it would need more weight on the tail. But that was a mistake in my falcon configuration. When it came time to measure CG to install batteries and switches, I could not reach the correct position even with 3 batteries near the nose, over the nose LG. So I had to move the pump and the UAT more to the front and only got CG at +/-350 mm. Now I will install brakes but its little extra weight wont correct CG, so I may unfortunately add some weight in the nose. Anyway it will still fly lighter cause I will change tank and save +/-500g of fuel weight.
