Summit III

[Scott Pavlock]

  I flew the Summit III .60 the whole competition season last year in the Intermediate class. When we first bought the plane we were absolutely amazed at how tailheavy the plane was. We would have needed about a pound and a quarter added to the nose to balance correctly. When we asked around we realized that we actually did not need to add any weight at all! I flew the whole season the way we bought it. When there wasnt any fuel in it the plane would flop down on the tail skid and it would level out as we filled it. While practicing I flew the plane untill the motor ran dry and I didn't experience problems or change in flight.

  Hope this helps!

    I just purchased the .60 size version of the Summit III and was hoping that 

    someone could tell me where the suggested CG is at on the airplane. This 

    will be my first pattern aircraft and based on an estimated guess the 

    airplane seems tail heavy w/ battery pack located at forward most point of 

    the fuselage plus about 6 oz of lead up front. Please advise...
