Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2006World Models 1/7 Spitfire Concerns, If Any
Hi all. I just inherited this ARF.I really haven't looked the contents over yet. Has any of you "built" one. If so do I need to make any changes. I plan on using a Saito 91 in it. All input will be appreciated. Thanks John I have an ARF Spitfire (70.8"w.s.) from A-K Models, mfgd. by some company in China. Powered by 1.20 4 stroke. It now flies beautifully, but first flight with model balanced at CG location on the drawing was almost a disaster. It was very unstable and obviously tail heavy. Four ounces of lead in the nose and it is now a pussy cat. > Hi all. > I just inherited this ARF.I really haven't looked the contents over > yet. Has any of you "built" one.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Thanks >> John Years ago, the model mags used to periodically publish charts/articles on how to calculate the balance point (CG) of your model. I wish there was another source for this information today. It would save folks a lot of grief. How about it, Gordon? If you have been publishing it, disregard. <G> Ed Cregger |
