Arc Fournier RF4 - C of G
I recently purchased a 2nd hnd Arc Fournier and was wondering if anyone has the manual for there's and could possibly post the C of G Please.
An idea of its flying characteristics would be helpfull as it seem to be a handfull so far.

RE: Arc Fournier RF4 - C of G
If you had the instruction sheet it shows how and where in picture 86. But it sounds like you don't have them so I'll try to explain it. On the side of the canopy there are 3 screws. Use a looped string and suspend the plane from the middle screws on each side. It should balance there, Don't go tail heavy what ever you do.
I had a ball with mine but could NEVER get it to fly slow without snapping. It wasn't bad if you were high enough but if you are low and slow chances are it's GONE. If the engine quits on take off you are in deep doo doo, and slow glider like landings can get you in trouble real quick.
I hope this helps and wish you all the LUCK in the world with it. ENJOY !!! RED
