Rarely does this model show up in the forums, so I am always interested when it does. I used what the manual says for CG location, and the plane flies terrific there. Mine came it at 9 pounds with an OS91Surpass II w/pump. Flies exceptionally well. I replaced the stock retracts (too thin) with some cheap ones from AK-Models, and they have stood up fine for the last year of flying...but I only fly it about one day each month, 3 flights each time. Flies and lands like a sport plane. Hope you enjoy yours as much. Jon
I picked mine up from a fellow RCU'er. It has an OS 91 Surpass II, and Spring Air retracts, and the previous owner drew panel lines and some rivets, and painted it over with some type of dull clear finish....looks pretty good. I flew it a couple of times the other day and it seemed a little sensitive on the elevator. Sure enough, it was tail heavy. I plan to take it out for another try this weekend.
