Hello to all F-16 1/5 pilots,
I start now to build a F-16 and I am wondering which is the "best" CG for that model. The manual says between 250 - 280mm from the leading edge. But what is best practically one?
Thanks for your informations in advance

It's been a few years for mine but I think I remember flying mine at 280-290mm with landing fuel in tanks. I was at 250mm with full fuel and smoke oil before I made custom smoke tanks seen in this thread above, and it required excess speed on take off and was hard to rotate. I would suggest working toward 280 for best results.

I just reviewed some of my posts from 2016-2017 Post #380 and forward and saw several references to 285-286mm. That's about what I remember. I'd recommend starting between 280-285mm and then adjust to your taste and style from there.
Good luck, post photos of your project!
