My header ? its just sightly aft of the cockpit seat on left handside

The 1st flight did have the fuel tanks on but it seems they cause more trouble than what they are worth lol .. for the 2nd flight tanks will be removed and CG readjusted, also flying here in Colorado does not help due to 5500ft Elev, especially on a hot day

Elevation would certainly matter. Check tanks to be sure they are straight Laser site helps with that! My new one is coming and I will experiment with CG a little at a time. Good luck with your next flights

I might try your 345mm front the leading edge at root but I am assuming that's with your 4 tanks installed? if that's the case might go to 350 mm? or you think that's pushing it? even though the SM manual says you can go back all the way to 360 mm

Also Kevin do you have any videos you can share of flying and landing your F-100?

Also anyone recommend a CG balance without having to spend a fortune since I will be only using it for my F-100?

Thanks

If I saw this post earlier I was going to say your gear will fail when the tires cut through the air lines after retraction on takeoff.

Send me your email and I will send pic of stand I use. Cheap to make. Unfortunately I dont have any flying videos. But I only flew with tanks on. With four tanks on it wanted to track in straight line. I removed inside tanks and installed missiles which fixed that issue

Balanced with tanks on at 345 from leading edge

By straight line I mean it did not like to turn

120’s and 140’s sound a little anemic. Especially at Colorado elevations.

And Saeid, yeah make sure you don’t have anything that can get caught up in your gear. Those airlines look awful close to your mains.


Oh and F-100’s love gyros so add one! My hun likes about 30% on a cortex in all flying conditions, but of course, yours might be a little different.

At mile high elevation I understand the larger turbine. Probably loosing 3-5 pounds of thrust so 160 seems a good fit

Anyone have a picture of the location of the screw that is used to tighten the rudder to the fuse. What I need is something that shows where the hole is located in the fuselage so I can insert the Allen wrench to tighten the screw against the rudder carbon shaft.

Unfortunately they did not drill the hole in the fuselage from the factory and now locating it up inside the fuse is close to impossible.

I posted in another F100 thread also but want to put it here also to see if I can get some help.
