Flew it again today my self. What a sweetie in the air. Nice big rudder turns. It flies pretty smooth with none of that jurky movement you see with smaller planes. First landing was with about 1/2in flaps. Little nose up but not bad at all. Going to work on getting more flaps and will need to add an elevator down mix for sure. Looks like this thread has ran it's corse. Hope it help out someone else[8D]

Anyone with a good CG suggestion?

if you have a copy of the plans, the CG is on the plans. It’s very accurate.

Unfortunately I do not have the plans, just the plane. Are you able to help me?

I know I can buy plans, just seems like a waste of money for a plane that is build and been flying and just want a referance to a sweetspot of the CG

Not really. If you break something then you have plans, you can use to repair the plane. I say that as a builder of 42 years. Plans are very helpful. Good luck with your plane.

Try this calculator, I find it works well.

You won’t need a calculator. Here’s the easiest thing to do since you don’t wanna purchase the plans. If you email Wendell Hostetler’s son via the web address I gave you previously, he will reply and let you know where the CG is located. Wendell died a couple days ago so you won’t be able to talk to him, but his son and his daughter still run the website and they’ll be more than happy to provide you with the information in terms of center of gravity and the amount of throw you’ll need for each control surface. They’re very helpful. Good luck on your plane.
