Looking great. I have a friend who picked one up at a swap meet and we're trying to figure out the CG as it seems very tail heavy. Any idea where the CG is supposed to be?
Thanks much,

35-40%. We only flew it twice successfully. Third flight had a lockout.

How many ounces does this plane weigh, because of all that framework put into the back side of the fuselage and tail section, I'm not surprised that it seems tail heavy.

63 ounces, which is the minimum allowable weight.

The plane doesn't exist any more. Third flight it came straight into the pavement with a Spektrum 2.4 Lockout
