Default Cap 232 CG??

I am putting the finishing touches on my 40 size World Models Cap 232. The book recommends 3.26" for the CG. Do you measure that from the leading edge where it is against the fuse? I've heard that the manual is wrong, and that the CG should be moved, but I can't remember if it is forward or back. Right now, my CG is at 3.5" from the LE at the fuse. Will it fly ok the way it is? This is my first aerobat, so I want to set it up to be as forgiving as I can. BTW, I have a chance to buy a used Cap 232, just like mine, with a YS .91 and no electronics, for $250.00 Is that a good deal??

Default RE: Cap 232 CG??

Hi There,
Im flying a Midwest Little Cap 232 for about a year now. Go by what the Manual says for the CG requirements. You can always make it nose or tail heavy to suit your style later. Make shur you set the CG with the plane up side down will the blancing point at the wing root & fuse.
Test the CG with the tank empty and move your reciever and battery forward or back to get the plan closest to where the plane balances level on the recomended CG.
If you buy the other plane, make shure you get all the information about it as you can, and have an expirienced flyer test your plane to make shure everything is set up correctly.
You will be way too nervious to fly the plane the first time.
Just my opinion.
