<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The control throws at 8 degrees and 10 degrees are a good start for the aileron and elevator. The CG at 1/3rd back from the leading edge at the fuse is way to far forward for a start. That would make it too tail heavy which would be a challenge. Try 45% back from the leading edge and it might need to go more than that after some trim flights. Some of the old pattern planes ended up around 50% to 55% from the leading edge.</span>

Good to hear your flying something. Good luck.

In really good shape, composite fuse, foam core wings, OS FS-120 surpass that still runs strong. Anyone familiar with it? Need to know where to set the CG. 1/3<sup>rd</sup> back from the leading edge at the fuse? Good starting point for control throws, 8 degrees on aileron and 10 degrees on elevator?</span></p>
