Sig Rascal Balance Point
 
I'm wondering if anyone knows the balance point for the small sig Rascal... I have a partial built plane I'm finishing with no instructions, and I need this to finish it up...
Thanks for any info!

Sig Rascal Balance Point
 
I have one.
I don't have the plans and instruction booklet anymore, but i will check on the plane tonight. I remember that for the maiden flight the CG was at the exact position showed in the instruction booklet, but i changed it slightly forward. I did this because the plane need a long acceleration phase before the flight controls become totaly effective and with the cg at the recomanded position the plane was a little bit unstable at low speed.

That little bird fly like a dream with a reducted speed400, and if builded light, you may expect to gain altitude easily with engine cuttof in thermal ascendance.
My record 52 minuts flight......

Looked at the instructions and it says 3 3/8" behind the leading edge immediately next to the fuselage side at the main spar.

Sorry for the mistake I misread the post I just realized you are talking about the small electric rascal, and I thought you were talking about the 40 size....sorry
