[NSRCA-discussion] Zero reference line on the Brio

[Anthony Romano]

If I remember correctly the manual states 8" from LE. This was ugly. When glow powered I was flying around 7 1/2" with several ounces of weight on the nose ring with a solid back plate spinner. 
Made a bunch of mods when I switched to E-power and now 6 15/16" from the LE.

> Took my Brio out of moth balls this year and converted it to E-power. After alot of playing with set up and discussions with Brian wound up with the cg just under 7" from the LE and the wing at almost +.75° to a 0 stab. No mix and best flying plane I have ever owned.

> I went back and looked at my notes and the original instructions state the tail should be 1" above the work bench, not 3/4". the directions also say to set the wing 1/4 degree positive and the stab 1/4 degree negative.
