f-18 single CG
12" seems pretty far up from the trailing edge, is anyone flying the single at this CG? I would like to move it back about an inch, but need to have some input from someone already flying one (YA F-18 single)

RE: f-18 single CG
I don't understand why you would want to move the CG towards the rear. When the instructions say to put it at 12" I usually put it at 12 1/4". Why does 12" seem so far forward to you? The guy that wrote those instructions has sold a ton of the singles and he knows what it takes to make them fly properly. I have heard that some people are flying the single at 11 1/2" but why play with fire? I have owned a couple of these birds and they flew beautifully at 12 1/4" - 12 1/2". Just my 2 cents.
