I am new to the ARF scene...
Hello All,
I am new to the ARF seen and I am looking for some assistance... I crashed my Super Hots last night (see my thread in the "Crash" section) and a gentleman at my field who helped me clean the runway of my Hots splinters told me he has a H9 Ultra Sick 40 he can give me for 2 gallons of glow fuel. I have to assemble (may have more questions for you) but he said I need to get in the air again quick... Very nice gesture from him. I am new to this field and these guys are "The Tops". He told me to put my engine from the Super Hots into the Ultra Stick 40. My engine is an Enya 60, ringed and schnurele (sp) ported, pretty hot engine. I have an Enya 45 also. Do I go with the 60 or put the 45 in? He said to put the 60 in it. Can the Ultra 40 handle the 60? Thanks for your help and I do hope I can ask more if I need to...

C.G.[center of gravity] is the location on the wing where the plane balances front to rear. The best location for this is not a specific point but rather a range. Moving the C.G. to the rear makes the plane more responsive to control inputs and less stable. As a general rule the range will be between 25%-32% of the wing cord, or mean aerodynamic chord {MAC} on a tapered wing. For instance if your wing is 12-inches from front to back the C.G. would be 3-4-inches back from the leading edge of the wing.

I'm sorry OUTCAST,
I know what the proper C.G. means, I thought you were offering a certain number that you found well suited for you and your stick. Thanks though... I got the manual with it (from a guy at the field) so the C.G should be in there. Thanks again...

No problem here... I really appreciate the help and I always listen to people talk because people in general are amazing and alot of people know alot of things! My Dad always told me to listen when people talk to me, not just hear them but "listen" to them... Thanks again.
