Didn't know if you saw my second question below. Didn't know how to get it to the top. Just looking for a clarification. Behind the spar or the wing tube on the GS540 kit for the cg question below. Thanks, Cosmo

RE: CG
Start out with 1" behind the back of the wing spar.
Then fly it. Fly straight and level while trim then go inverted @ 2/3 throttle. The plane should just barely want to dive on the nose or fly straight and level.
Don't be nervous with GS Edge it's a big baby. The CG has a 3 inch shift too. Move it to how you like it.
Personally I like it 2" behind the back of the spar. This makes for great 3D but not for good precision stuff. Also makes it more difficult to land.
