Modeltech SU-29 CG Question

[cor...@my-deja.com]

I am building the kit at the moment, but there is no addendum for the
balancing point. Does anybody know the actual C.G. - experience or
according to the addendum.

the answer to your question is 4 1/2

I got mine flying this weekend and it balanced perfect. I used the Great Planes
CG Balancer and measured right on what the addendum stated. It's 3 1/2 back
from the leading edge at the sides of the fuselage, no more than 3 3/4 back...
IT flew great but a bit on the heavy side, I used a Super Tigre 90 and It flies
perfect...

This is wrong....Do not go for 4 1/2 this is the misprint that the instruction
had. Hope you're a very good pilot if you want to follow this. Only an idiot
would....

My final weight was right on 10 lbs. maybe an ounce or two over but it was
close to 10 lbs. I covered it with White, Blue and red stripes, all monocote
covering.....
