Tamjet F-16 questions
Hey guys, I just picked up a 3rd or 4th hand tamjets f-16.
One of the older ones, not the cermark version.
I need to know the cg and throws for elevons if possible.
I seem to remember the cg being around 6.5 inches back from the LE with the gear down, does that seem right?
What about elevon throws?

On its way.
On its way.
Dawn it.
You beat me to it again.
But the C.G move back to 5.5" is better for take off and easy to flare on landing.
I would not go no more than 6". That become a hand full on landing. To sensitive on the flare.
Thanks KC.

RE: Tamjet F-16 questions
You will have an absolute blast Ronnie! Fly it at 5.5" CG, then as you get used to it you slowly move AFT and you will notice the short takeoff/landing performance as you get closer to 6" CG. You will love it.</p>
What engine??</p>
