>>> Here I sit sweating my butt off in the sweet FL heat... But no longer
>>> am I chasing the unknown. I got the Envision and promptly threw it
>>> together in 2 days (a record for me lol) without truly seeing where
>>> any of the settings were. After a few flights I got the plane 'mixed
>>> and trimmed'. Wondering about some settings I had, I sent a text to
>>> Mark Hunt to find out where my cg range should be (actual spot at the
>>> wing root).  I give him the numbers he needs, he draws it out real
>>> quick and gives me a range. I was at the front of the range so now I
>>> knew where to play with the cg. To my delight, all of the mixes were
>>> 5% and less. Looked like we hit it really close off the bat. Then I
>>> start fine tuning the mixes and in comes some strange S
>>> mixes....hmmmmmm. No biggie, it's still less than 7% all around; I can
>>> live with that.
>>>
>>> But that curiousity cat got to me and I leveled the fuse out and
>>> checked over everything. LOL wow.... Turns out that I really missed my
>>> alignment of the firewall install (I'm NOT a builder so I'm ok with it
>>> lol) and I had some positive upthrust... oops. Out comes the 1/32"
>>> plywood and shims are made. Then I check the wings... Hey I got
>>> something right lol. They're set positive to about where they felt
>>> good so no adjusting needed on them, yet. Then the stabs. Just
>>> eyeballing them with my 'calibrated eye' they looked to be LE
>>> (positive?) up. After checking the meter, yep, LE up. So I get ready
>>> to send Chip an email about where the stabs should be according to the
>>> fuse marks and he happens to call. We talk about my trimming and it
>>> hits him... The marks haven't been moved on the first 2 planes...
>>> Bingo (that's why I'm glad to get the first planes, I don't mind
>>> working out the bugs if it means future planes are correct). So I put
>>> a 2nd adjuster pin tube in the fuse right under the original tube for
>>> the adjuster pin and after some adjusting I get them set.
>>>
>>> So once I know where everything is, I shoot Bryan a text and tell him
>>> where I'm at and he laughs and writes me back a novel text. So I
>>> answer what I can in book format and then get another novel in return.
>>> Poor Bryan, I can only imagine him texting these responses back to me
>>> lol. So to spare us both the texting, I gave him a ring and we talked
>>> about everything it's doing. So he tells me where to set motor/wing/
>>> stab/cg according to what I tell him it's doing and that brings me to
>>> today. The mixes are still less than 6% and I don't have anymore S
>>> point mixes. I'm still dabbling with fine tuning as it's a little
>>> windy out but it feels soo much better.
>>>
>>> Thanks to:
>>> Chip, Marcelo and the CA Models crew for helping bring the Envision to
>>> life
>>> Mark Hunt for the quick cg range before his trip to the contest
>>> Bryan Hebert for the endless answers to my setting up/trimming
>>> questions... yet again
