A friend of mine has a Thunder Tiger Trainer 40 that he bought over 4 years ago. It's sat in his garage for all these years, the motor, never fired. It has some light hangar rash that me and another friend of mine are fixing up. My friend wants this plane in flying condition and is excited about seeing it in the air and learning to fly. We will likely have it ready to fly tomorrow with the exception of breaking in the motor. One question though, what are the control throw measurements and where is the CG? I looked on acehobby's website and this information is not available. I also found the downloadable manual and it doesn't say either. Here is the plane I'm talking about:

Majors00,
I have the plane and the manual. I fly at the 76 & 15 (Palomar RC Flyers). You could borrow the manual and make copies of the important stuff if needed.
I just learned to fly on this plane after it sat in the garage for like 13 years (Today was a bit breezy for a beginner like me, but the plane made it through).
How long have you had the un-built ARF?
