Raidentech/Nitro Models/AKM Gee Bee 120
I've just bought one of these from Raidentech, the R2 version, and it looks great. Having little to no luck finding this particular model being discussed anywhere on the RCU forums. Lots of info on the 68" span Great Planes version; this one is 72" span.
Of course my greatest concern is the location of the CG. The manual that came with the ARF suggests 105mm from the leading edge. The chord at the fuselage measures 293mm, hence this suggests about a 36% CG------the Great Planes version suggests 70mm from the leading edge, of course I don't know what the chord on that one is......and from the info I have gathered searching the forums it appears the general concensus is somewhere around 18%-22%.
Surely at about $150 SOMEBODY has got to have one of these and are flying it! Thanks!
