Gary, have u flown yours yet? 390 mm is a good starting point on the CG....I'm guessing we will move this one back to end up somewhere in the 400 - 410 mm range.....390 was still noseheavy in rolling manuvers and inverted flight....

Ryan, I have not flown mine yet. I recently took a new job that has basically stopped my progress on the plane, but it is very close. I am not really in a big hurry until Skymaster has worked out all of the bugs. Mine is covered in Flite Metal and I have allot of time invested in the finish.

I have a little play in my elevators at neutral, did you notice this on yours? Just wondering how you fixed it if so...

Congrats on getting yours flying. I was going to post some pictures of mine soon. I have an incredible hot section on mine...
