CG on carden 35% edge
 
Just checked the CG on my carden edge and it balances about half inch behind the recomended cg. anyone flying one of these and if so where is your cg at.

I have been flying mine for about a year now and finally settled at the 5 3/4" back from LE at the wingtip. This is where Dennis says that alot of people are flying them. I love the way mine flies with the CG at this point. It requires just a tisch of down inverted and flies great. They torque roll great if you know what to do. Mike McConville had mine torque rolling about 2' off the ground, was awesome to see...

Mine also came out tail heavy and I had to add some nose weight. I actually ended up moving my battery packs up within the front motor box area and adding a little lead on the top of the motor box. From what I understand it is quite common for these to be tail heavy or at least that is my understanding. I am finishing a second right now and have put K&S cans in it so I think that will alleviate the tail heavy problem. At least I hope it does.

Good Luck
Curtis

Hi Al, are going to fly your Edge this weekend? You shouldn't have any problems at 1/2" difference.

Hi, Mark. I will be flying the edge tomorrow. It balances at 5 7/8" from the leading edge with a menz 27-10. I got a Mezlik 28-10 thats a 1/4 pound heavier, this should bring the cg with in specs.

Is 5 3/4" good for 3D or IMAC? I will be getting one and am mainly interested in 3D only.

Thanks
