ORIGINAL: rcpattern

<snip>The most important thing on this plane is initial setup. Set your CG at least in front of the wing tube. Mine is actually closer to 1/4'' in front of the tube.<snip>
So can I use this same info for the V-2??

I got the blue V-2 from Dean a few months ago (one of Mikes first few airplanes) ...I'm getting ready to fly it for the first time after piddeling with it for a bit...I think it's pretty well "set-up" and obviously has allot of flights but it's new to me so I'm looking it over just to satisfy myself...

The last few things on "the list" are to set up the control throws and check the CG...I was gonna set the elev and aileron at 8* low rate and 12* high rate per Dean's suggestion...I wasn't sure on the CG...

Thanks Allot...

P.S. I also bought a framed up and sheeted V-3 and am looking forward to getting to that one of these days!!
