Misc / c.g. of camrian fun fighter 109

« on: August 03, 2008, 22:01:54 PM »

i have two me 109 cambrian fun fighters , the first one flies beutifully,
but......i came across a half built one and decided to take it on , i finished it in the desert camo detail..... on the different plans the two cg`s were different  the first 109`s c.g on the plan was 55mm from the leading edge......but the second one was 75mm from the leading edge ,i have put strips of lead as far forward as possible but it still climbs like a homesick angel, but whats worse the stall speed is an awfull lot higher in the second one??? i actually did a kind of a snap roll one day doing a tight fighter type turn but luckilly enough i was high enough to get out of it
ANY IDEAS FOLKS ??  :!:

ok, going north along the coast, from lehinch co clare, theres a good place just north of liscannor, past the cliffs of moher, fanore has good dune soaring havent flown it yet but hoping to, black head by the light house absoloutly fantastic !!!! somooth out, only one thing though, very close to the road and no soft stuff to land on , so an epp model would be the job there, alternitavely a short trek up the hill behind the lighthouse is a good spot. slope is (W,NW,WSW)
THOUGH SAYING THAT pretty much all the west coast is very good for sloping, kinda like co kerry )
