Default Help! CG for Euro Firebird?

Can anybody tell me where the CG for the Euro Firebird is?
And what are the best control throughs too start flying with?

I bought the plane at Jetpower but without the plans [&o]

So if somebody could help it would be a great help for me

So YOU were the one who got the nice Firebird.

Try and contact Modelbau Ulrich on [email protected] or phone +49 (0) 67 61 / 91 57 13 .

I'm sure they can help you to a copy of the manual. Look [link=http://www.modellbau-ulrich.de/]HERE[/link] at their homepage.

No. But I saw one fly at this years "flugtag" in Tarp/Germany, and it flies really great and has a wide speed range. I like the F-16'ish nose on the model.

Yes the F-16'ish nose is what i liked right when i saw it!
This will be my first turbine driven plane! It wil be powered by a Alfred Frank TJ-67.
Later i will converse my Avonds F-15 too turbine power.
And maybe my Avonds Rafale too, I love that plane!
But first i want a turbine trainer, and the Firebird look just right for me.
Perhaps next year i bring it too Holstebro, the meeting is always in the middle of my vacation so i have too take al the jet stuf with me
No problem for me but my wife...........
