RCU Forums - Global Avance:

OK guys, I posted this in the pattern forum, but didn't get any response, so I thought I'd try elsewhere. Here is the issue from the other thread:

"I recently acquired a Global Avance pattern plane, and I have no manual for it. I'm currently beefing up the shoddy retracts that came with it, and have all of the covering stripped off of the thing. I will be recovering it, and upon completion of "beefing" up the plane, I need to re-balance it. I dont' have the manual, so I need to know the CG. Does anyone out there have a manual for this thing? If so, could you tell me what the CG is, and where to measure it from?

Also, what should I expect with this thing--how will it fly, slow down, land, takeoff, etc? I plan on installing an OS 46 AX in the nose!

Thanks!!! "

I looked on hobbypeople, and they don't sell the arf anymore--just parts. And, I can order the manual for a nominal 4 bucks, but I'd like to get the info for free, if anyone out there has it!

Anyone have this plane?

Thanks...
