RE: Northstar mods - Tell me what you think

Yes.
I have completed the covering. I just ordered the decal.
The model is about 7 1/4 lbs and is ready to fly. Going to use a Thunder Tigre GP42
for power.

RE: Maiden on the GP P-38 Yesterday.

Hi Bernd,
I'm not sure about the engines you are using. I used two O.S. 25LA's but had to add about 1 ounce of tail weight to obtain the correct CG.
Have you balanced your P38 yet?

Your...

RE: CMP Quest 50 ARF----????

I think your CG set at 130mm will be OK, however I belive that the CG adjusted to 135mm will be best.
Let me know how you do,

RE: CMP Quest 50 ARF----????

HI All,
I completed my maiden flight on my new Quest 50 and found the CG incorrect. At least the way I measured it. The 95mm to 105mm might be correct but not if you measure the distance at the...

RE: CMP Quest 50 ARF----????

Hi to all,
I just found and purchased a Quest 50 from Nitroplanes.
This will be my first pattern plane.
We have one club member with a Quest 90 at our field and it is impressive.

RE: GP Profile 38, first flight.. Pleasantly surprised

Hi Greg,
I don't think rotating the engines will change the CG, however if it does I would think you could correct any slight change in balance when you do a final balance of the model.

I have...

RE: GP Profile 38, first flight.. Pleasantly surprised
