The big brown truck brought my EF Edge 540T today...
God, I love getting packages like this at work! But how am I supposed to concentrate on work when all I can think about is getting this thing home and putting it together?!
This hobby is SO much fun!

You will find this thing goes together very quickly. What are you planning to use for a motor? I have a OS 70 on mine and it's plenty of power for me. It is a kick to fly.

What CG did you end up with? EF likes 1" behind main spar.

I went with .75" behind the main spar. I decided to be a bit on the conservative for the first flights. Glad I did as at .75" it was a bit too tail heavy for me. I have been flying for nearly 20 years but just started pushing myself on this 3D stuff. I moved the CG up so it is about 1/8" behind the spar and I am happy with it. I do plan to start moving it back soon.
If you are an experienced 3D pilot go with the 1" behind the spar and you will have a very responsive ship.
