4 Star 40 CG?
 
Just picked up a Clipped wing 4 Star 40. Just wondering where the CG should be. The wing is clipped 6 inch's and the rudder control surface has been inlarged.

Myork....are you asking whether or not the CG would change on a plane with those mods? If so the answer is no.

No I figured it wouldn't change with those mods. Sorry guys I forgot about getting on Tower and Looking it up. I'm new to the Hobby so I'm still trying to get all my info resource's stuck in my head. :D Believe me I know all about the search button. I have almost 600posts on ls1tech.com.

Thanks alot

Matt

No problem. Any question - any time. We'll have an answer. Who knows, we may even be correct. :D We're all still learning here too.

Just balanced on today, the plans for the 4*40 shows the center of gravity on the main spar.
