Royal Bearcat - need help
I picked up a Royal Bearcat with a ST .90 on eBay - $115. The plane had been 95% built in 1991, and I've just finished the rest. I believe the CG is 4.5" as shown in the attached photo - can anyone confirm? Also, if anyone has the recommended throws I'd appreciate them.
Btw, what type of flyer is this – it’s my first warbird.
Thanks

thpught I'd comment, this plane should fly very well as yours appears to be kept simple and light weight.
now, check to make sure your ailerons dont have slop as they are probably controlled by one central servo with bell cranks.
It should fly fast but still very controllable. make sure it is not tailheavy or your model will definately be gone!
for true balance point go 1/3 of the way abck from the leading edge in the center of the wing and one - two inches out from the fuse on both sides for balance.
