Mini Ellipse CG, Throws, etc?
Its going to BLOW like CRAZY this weekend so I've decided to dust off some of my heavy slopers. I've repaired my Mini Ellipse (again!) and its ready to go.
I've switched radios since I last flew this one and I don't have its settings anymore. Does anyone have their spec sheet handy? I need to know the recommended CG and max thows.
Thanks!

Thanks for thje info. Almost immediatelyafter I posted this I remembered that I had email messages archived from the fellow that sold me the plane... dug them up and voila! instructions.
I flew it yesterday. 40 MPH winds gusting to 60 MPH. Breah out he ballast
The elevator was a bit sensitive, as I set it up with the CG at the aft (3") point. I didn't set up the spoilers with enough throw, so I ended up breaking the vtail mounting plate loose on the first landing.
That little plane can certainly howl when it gets moving!
