Lanier Cap 232 CG ?
 
Can anyone tell me where they have their CG on this plane? I had heard that it needed to be moved forward if you where not going to do any 3D stuff. Is 1" to far forward of the wing tube for ordinary flight?

I flew with CG at the rear of the tube. I started with it at the front of the tube. I don't like to add weight to the plane. With a Brison 3.2, I needed to add weight to nose. I believe I was able to take all weight out and have it at the backside of tube.

If you post in Giant Scale - you'll get alot of info.

Arf or kit? Do a search and you'll see a lot of info on both. If it's the ARF the manual is wrong and you should be 1/2" in front of the wingtube, not the center of the wingtube either but 1/2" in front of the entire tube. Reason is this one is heavy and with too much elevator it will snap over on you. Do the search and good luck. I sold mine and got the GP PW Extra, huge difference.
