Default Loaded Dice CG

I have been given a Loaded Dice with hanno special by a friend, but don't have the CG.

He removed the servos, which were a low profile type. I had to relocate them differently to fit.

I tried to calculate using CG calculator I found on the Web, it comes out as 5 7/8" from the LE.

Can anyone confirm that this is about right.

(Wing root chord is 16", wing is swept back at LE, and straight at TE)

Thanks in advance for any advice

I have the plans and will look at them in a few hours when I get home. Unless someone beats me to it.

Ok! Per the plans, CG is 5-3/4" from the LE. cheers.


Added: On the plans, the TE is actually tapered forward 1/4".

Thanks for CG info flianbrian

I hadn't noticed before, but yes, the TE is tapered

BTW, is your plan for the MkI or MkII?
And do you know what the difference is in the two Marks? I THINK mine is a MKII, but am not sure.

cheers

RCM has/had plans for "Loaded Dice" ( .60 size/66" ) and "Loaded Dice II" ( .90 size/68" ).

I have had plans and cores for the .60-size and hope to build it in the coming months.
