If you go off QQ's cg they are not flyable for me in the smaller 2.6m, 86", 72" ones, i always move the cg an inch or 2 in front of what he says, after that they are a weapon for schedules..

Thanks TD, good to know, that's roughly what it would be now, at about 1" fwd of the his fwd c of g mark. Still got a couple of days work b4 i get to check a final C of G , but will go with it for starters and see how it goes as i like imac planes a little nose heavy as long as ya still can get a good snap and stall.
