i believe the CG was 1/3 from the leading edge, i first threw the plane as it was intended and it flew great, marked the CG which was somewhere in the middle of the wing, but when i slapped on my gear and flew the plane, boy was the CG wrong, it was way off, so try 1/3 and go from there

Just as a guide could you give me a rough idea as to a good position for c/g on wing please.

thats a good setup, i mounted the prop using a pro saver, its the O ring, your motor should be mounted the same way, make sure you use the smallest O rings, or else the prop will come off the motor in mid air: PS, you can buy O rings for cheap at home depot, dont buy them from hobby shops, or if you know a plummer they have plenty, a good friend of mine gave me bags and bags, god bless him ;)

thanks for the …
thanks for the quick response.I’m using a hyperion 450mAh 3S lipo with titan 10 p31 speed controller.Call me stupid but how are you actually mounting your prop to your motor?At a guess are you using one of the o’rings supplied with motor to tie prop?

the hyperion 6 turn …
the hyperion 6 turn 2100kv is a great little motor, it will take a 3S lipo and it will spin a 6×4 GWS slow fly prop, as for the mounting, i just used the cross back plate and glued that on directly to the front of the fox, of course i cut the front of the plane for an even smooth surface. hope that helps

yes it sure does :)
yes it sure does :) also note, the higher the KV of a motor, the smaller the propeller size, once you work with different KV motors, you’ll get a feel of what prop to use, e.g 900kv motor will spin 11×6 prop, 1200KV motor will spin 9×4, 2200kv motor will spin 6×4 prop, of course there is also the variable of what voltage/cell count your battery is, lower the voltage of your battery, the bigger the prop, higher the voltage/cell count, smaller the prop

KV stands for rpm/volt or ( kiloVolt) “K” is the scientific notation for a constant and “V” stands for Volts.
