CONDOE _WON,

I just measured the Reaper and the centerline of the axle is 4.125" forward of the centerline of the rear wing tube. The CG is now set at 550mm forward of the trailing edge of the wing. I think that this puts the axles somewhere around 2" behind the CG. With this set-up, it rotates fine and once in the air, you just slowly bleed off the back pressure on the elevator as the speed builds...just right. I have found that if you are a little high or fast in the traffic pattern, just set up a fairly "hard" turn to final. This will bleed lots of speed. If it get's too slow, the nose just drops a little and then I set the approach speed with the elevator... I have never run out of aileron authority on landing. I mostly land on low rate Elevator and aileron unless it's gust, then I go to high rate on aileron...just in case.


Gear down, flaps 3, landing check.........
