I certainly hope that things go better for you. Following your example, I checked the CG, and the book calls for 130 mm. I took measurements, and 25% of the MAC, mine turned up at 92.5 MM. The Seagull and the BH aren't exactly the same, just very similar construction. By the way, did your pilots turn out looking like twins? No big deal for me, this was the first time I have put figures in the aircraft. I have to return the spool valve to Hobby people so they can examine it, so I won't have the gear retract for a number of flights.
