Vinny,

I don't have the Cosmos plans anymore, but I do have the Aurora plans which was maybe 25 cents different than a Cosmos. I'd be happy to look up the C/G/throws if you'd like them. I flew both and the Aurora was a bit smoother due to the lengthened fuselage.. but I'd bet the C/Gs are almost the same. Let me know.

I looked up the plans to my Cosmos 60 and the CG location is around 1/4 inch forward of the main gear position which seems too me to be a bit too far back. As I recall I flew my Cosmos 60 with the CG about 1/3 back for the leading edge of the wing. Throws are not mentioned on the plans for the Cosmos 60 nor on the Aurora plans either. So I would suggest 1/4" up and down on the Ailerons, 3/8" inch up and down on the elevator the Rudder I used 1 inch both directions to start. If you had installed the flaps try 45 Deg down initially and be prepared to feed something like 1/8 down elevator when the flaps go down since the nose of the Cosmos will pitch up and will try to go into a loop. I still have my Cosmos 60 after all these years built it 15 years ago and I have a 2nd Cosmos that has been ruffed in but never finished. I never set my plane up for the spoilers but the flaps all the way down really helped the airplane in the landings.

Well the Cosmos 60 is the predecessor to the Aurora by the same designer. The the Cosmos was a mid 80's design and was kitted by MK I assume you have an MK kit. I don't really know if anyone else produced a fibreglas version like was done with the Aurora that was known as the PA-2

DLB,

Yes, Phillips Aircraft did the Fibeglass Aurora.. or PA-2..... you wouldn't know where one is hiding would you???..... I just recently obtained a Mistress.....anyway.. always looking for another classic.

Yes I just happen to know right where a PA2 is hiding right now. Its in the 2nd bedroom in my house. Its about 75% done too. all that needs be done to it is the assembly of the tail section the wings and engine mount are already installerd. If your interested leave me a message. I've got so many projects I'm working on its still going to be a long time before I get to it.
