To all you E-Motion owners,


I've been flying my plane hard for 5 days now and adjusted the wing incidence a bit more positive to remove the elevator up trim that I had plus I found that the elevator comes with a slight negative incidence on the right versus the left which, according to DaveL, is an intentional design element to counter act the left turning tendency of the props slip stream and then today I was checking my CG and found that I am happy at 195 cm aft of the leading edge which seems to me to be a bit further back than the recommended position. Also I should note that for my plane with Rhino packs which weigh 1255g (44.3 ozs) the battery packs were hanging off the back of the tray so Chris added an extension to accommodate the batteries properly.


Which brings me to my questions . . . where do you set your CG on your E-Motion? Do your batteries hang off the back slightly?


I must say, coming off the Integral as my first "real" pattern plane this plane has definitely lived up to its expectations. For the Intermediate sequence it is noticeably easier to fly than the Integral. Easier to roll, easier to stall turn, and easier to land by far. Could be I'm just more comfortable now as well, but in any case I can't say enough good things about this plane! Oh . . . and did I mention I'm flying it with the 520g Plettenberg EVO 25-12

Anyways thats it for now!
