Hi Duane:

Do a search on this forum under LR1. All the details are already there. Pay special attention to the CG. There was an error on the factory supplied information.

did you find the info you need? the Ailerons are more than you think and the elevator is less than you think. On mine i had about 5mm up and 2mm down on the elevator and about 10 up on each aileron and about 6mm down

ailerons 12mm up and 8 down
elevator 10mm up and 10 down
cg per speed cat is 50-60mm aft of leading edge at the wing root

Thanks guys, I tried the search, but some threads were just way too long to search through. I needed to know last night, I took it to work with me to fly after, and was trying to set it up last night. I guess I didn't measure any throws, just eyed them. Ailerons were pretty close, turned great, elevator was a little much. On one turn I used a lot of elevator, and it tried to snap on that turn. Flys pretty nice with the .25, lands easier than my Vipers...slows down quicker. I got worried on the last flight, motor quit, prop was just spinning, spit the glow plug out. I guess when I buy swap meet engines I should make sure things are tight! I don't like the color scheme, white/blue. This would not have been my choice colors, but I swapped planes with someone else, who bought it from another member, new plane, 3rd owner? Next, my Q40 plane!

Nice Q40 plane,

I got the Q40 at Aiport Pawn, traded the Mach Racer delta for it. No real engine choice yet, recovering the wing, painting the fuse (the plane was well used and a little rough/cracks) Maybe I'll use the Webra .40 or my ST .45 or open to suggestions/donations!

Duane,

I would suggest a Rossi 45,50- Jett 50, webra speed 55, Jett 60LX

I could donate everything but the last two. You crash you buy!
