Default Bandit Arf Maiden

HI all, I maidened my Bandit Arf this morning, what"s with the crappy CG location, I almost ran out of runnway to get air born, I hate feeding in up elevator on the turns and I had to dial in a wack of up elevator on the first flight. OH well, come to think of it, All of Bobs planes are nose heavy. But once you get the CG right, you cann"t beat Bob"s Jets.

The initial CG set up is very conservative.

I ended up 3/4-1" back from recommended and it was awesome (until I sold it!).

A conservative, slightly nose heavy CG is far better than having a tail heavy, snap prone CG....especially for the first flight..
Move the CG aft in small increments until you find the spot you like.
