RE: C.G. point of my Retlas Spitfire

I had/have a booklet of instructions which were reasonably comprehensive. I finished up with 13 1/2 oz of brass, (carefully turned and trued) in the spinner.

Good luck.

RE: doesn't anyone els have a MVVS 35cc

There does seem to be varying results. One problem is that everyone appears to be using different make props. Could be that this is causing some of the variation.
