<div>I had both the fiberglass and carbon Brios and all moments and critical locations were identical AFAIK. I built and flew both with the same CG/ throw / other setups and they flew about the same. I'm looking forward to trying Anthony Romano's settings if / when the remaining Brio ever flies again.</div>

<div>I shall verify my setup today with respect to the zero line Don references below, but currently, using the stab as zero, I have +.6 wing and -1.2 engine. I shall check my CG, but I do have a pull to belly on left and right knife edge meaning I am too tail heavy. Anthony, is your Brio the carbon reinforcement nose version or the fiberglass only nose version. I thought they had different CG locations. Unfortunately, flight verification won't come until April here in good old Michigan.<br>

<div class="im"><br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Zero reference line on the Brio<br><br>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. <br>

<div>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.</div>

<div>I believe with the belly resting on a level work surface, the bottom of the fuselage at the back/bottom of the fin is supposed to be 3/4" above the table. The fuse would then be at 'zero'.</div>
