Default 2 Quick Questions ? :)

Hi,

Hope someone can answer these 2 quick questions ?

1) Whats the best way to work out the CG of a Low wing plane like a GP SuperSportstar 40 without the proper tool (IE - By Hand) ............... also do you do this with the fuel tank full or empty ?

2) Can anyone recommend a good RC Plane website ? ie with lots of pics etc as i need to build a site for my local club, and im looking for some idea's on the content etc

Any help would be grateful Thx

1, Balance it on your fingertips with the plane upside down and the tank empty.

2, When RCU launches it's new site (soon) there will be a special section for club posting, so you may not even need a website.

2. check out our club site www.rcflyers.fsnet.co.uk recently got in Model World and given 8/10
bigest improvement is the ability for selected members other than the webmaster to upload pics, so now it gets fresh pics every week. also having everything!!! thumbnailed makes it quick. old site was 5 mins per page to load

Sounds like RCU is gonna do what www.club-chat.co.uk is doing now. it's a small club owned UK based forum with club sections and live chat

before I got a balancer I used two pencils with erasers and held them at the proper balance point on the wing (balance upside down as Minn said) Use the eraser end, of course!

You can check out our club website.....
