CG for SIGG Smith Mini Plane?
I bought one at a garage sale fully built. She is tail heavy right now. I looked up the manual and all it says is to refer to the plans. Thanks in advance.

RE: CG for SIGG Smith Mini Plane?
If you don't know what the CG point is, how do you know it is tail heavy?
Anyway here you go,
Ailerons = 1/2"
elevator = 5/8"
rudder = +/- 1"
CG point is at the leading edge of the bottom wing.

A different approach - click here
BTW - if you need one I have NIBcowl for the plane. PM me if you have a need.

tacx, I thought I had it balanced and tried to take off. I had to bring it back in under 3/4 power to get it back on the ground
