Can anyone tell me what the CG distance from the LE is for this ARF? I had a
wreck and have rebuilt but lost the manual. I have tried the variuos
formulas but can't seem to get it right.

Which do you prefer, stab/ elevator or all moving tailplanes? Just

Several years ago I had to replace a wing on my Big Stik 40.  I bought a
foam wing and partially sheeted it.  I didn't feel good about making slots

Someone noted the fuel line had bubbles in it.
The owner whined because he had just replaced the fuel line from the
