Hi Guys, could any body tell me the CG for the Direct Connection F20 Tiger Shark which I know a no longer in bussness. It has nose & main retracts in it.
I had flown it years ago. now I thought I would dust of the cobwebbs & fly it again, but I took out the receiver & battery pack when I stored it away now I cant remember where the battery pack went to get the CG right. I also have one of Direct Connection F18 Hornet kit in which is still sitting in the closet, but I probably will never build, as I haven't got the time. I know tower hobbies sell the Phoenix F20 Tiger Shark, but I dont know whether the CG would be the same, the plane looks abit different to me. The Phoenix F20 CG is 150mm from the leading edge, but I tryed that but way to nose heavey even with the battery sitting on the art end of the fuse. So could any one help me here Thanks.

Not having a better information, you could try this on-line calculator, which works very well:
