Default SU-47

I purchased an SU-47. The manual does not list the center of gravity. Does anyone have this information?

LOL!!! That low kit price comes with a price.

Do you have experience? Have you assembled and flown aerobatic ARF's before? If yes then you can probably use the TLAR meathod... "That Looks About Right"

TLAB does not work for high powered aircraft. I have flown several E-Powered craft for other people and the problem most often encountered is GC too far back. This is because the manuals apparently expect one to TLAB. The alternative is to build a profile glider and experiment. The canard makes calulating the location beyond what I know. I was hoping that someone has figured it out.

Yeah on this plane TLAR would be a crap shoot....

You could try putting it just in front of the outer wing tips, and run it up on a long runway to see if it will fly.

If not move it back until it goes airborn and work back from there.

Please report how the plane does. It sure looks "interesting"....
