Default Hotspot CG/elevon question.

Hi just a quick question for all you Hotspot Jocks.... how much 'up' elevon do you have dialled in with the correct c of g to fly level ?

I think mine may be too far forward having around 7/16"(10mm) 'up' measured at the root.

Rob.

Rob, 10mm sounds like a bit more than usual. My hotspot in very heavy(smoke ,bombs,) more to the nose than tail but still around 8mm. I suggest you recheck the CG. Your probally on the nose heavy side. Scott

Yes.........perhaps a little nose heavy. My HotSpot measures 5/16 for the reflex.
