Could somebody out there tell me where they have their F-22 cg at? Thanks for the help.

"Dollar bill length" LOL. Its 210mm to 220mm or 8.5 to 8.75"

Yeah sorry didn't have a ruler at the time but a dollar bill in the pocket while before gutting it out. After having completed my second Global F-22, I find that the wing being so much lighter than the earlier version and anticipated that my previously posted CG (without wing) would result nose heavy and sure enough it was. Had to remove the entire 9 oz of dead weight from the nose to feel nice and tail heavy, like the old one I used to like to fly. I suspect that the end result CG location with wing would be the same as before. If any of you are attending KY Jets, perhaps you could help me CG it with the wings on and get a more proper description of CG location But in reality, even the dollar bill CG without wings, new version, landed OK, so it really is a pretty good range.

Nice vid, but what's with the music? If you try a bit aft than that I'd think you just may like it even better, I know I did. I like your fantasy Japanese scheme too, wasn't this jet from Hawaii? or the video where was shot?

Cheers,

Well, the music is a snake charmer theme like in cobra maneuver! LOL.
The vid was taken in Makos RC Jet Club in Homestead, Florida.
