In all the confusion of moving I lost ( or haven't found yet ) my manual. What is the recommend CG? I think it is 4.75" to 5.25 "back from the front of the wing measured at the fuselage. I don't want to take it up again after repairs with out it being correct. :p

Be careful with this plane, I have a friend who had one and the horizontal stabilizer snapped off in level flight. The suppler replaced it at a small cost and the 2nd one did exactly the same thing two days ago. On the 2nd one he ran twin elevator servos and with one side gone managed to get the plane back on the ground.

This plane is too weak in the back end, I have heard another thread here with a person in the US that had the elevator snap off too.

Nice looking plane but… My friend runs his with an OS120 4 stroke….fantastic..

I have kevlar flying wires on the stab. This already happened. It broke in the same place on both sides. I reinforced it with a 1/16" steel rod on the front and rear spars. Haven't had a problem yet. Just my hard landings! :D
