I've just bought a s/h .46 sized Seagull Harrier 3D. It is fitted with a Weston 50 engine (purple top) and a throttle pipe. The engine was the main attraction. However, the model just needed one elevator fixing so I can't resist giving it a go. I don't have the instructions and can't find them to download on the net.

Can anybody tell me where the c of g should be and suggest control throws / exponential?

Many thanks

The plane has a straight chord ... so the CG will be at about 33%, for 3D plane you can take it back to as much as 35% easily. For throws, my Harrier 90 I will use as much as I can get for HI RATES, ELE about 45 degrees, RUD almost touching the ELE and AIL about 35 degress. Go to the Harrier 46 thread and see what is happening there. Have fun ... I love my Harrier 60. As for expo start with 40% on high rates, it really depends on your liking. I know some friends who love to have SENSITIVE expo, not 'negative'.

The CG range is 140mm to 150mm from the L.E.
