and my opinion on the owner of this plane i would buy from a well known designer if it were my first large scale plane because they have a reputation of having there planes and manuals set up very nicely.(Mike McConnell, carden, Que Que, Tony russo....)

Thats correct, correct CG for your taste... perhaps not the rest of us.

exactly I have flown planes that I flat out thought was terrible flying and the owner thought it was great. This is one subject that will be debated alot and it just depends on pilot taste..(like you said)

AGAIN Cruze, We understand what YOUR manual states, and mine is at 5 1/3" and the website is at 5 2/3" . We believe you... really....
Just trying to help out some new comer, who maybe building this plane like us.

Just went here and plugged in the wing dimensions and it matched the number in my manual.
Maybe they ehanged the wing dimensions from version to version?

SS

Maybe the 5 1/8 is at the tip and the 6 1/8 is at the root?

There are the copies of both manuals for the same plane. 1" differance, "come on, get real Gold Wing"

Lou,

Just contact Mike and, see what he says..

The Manuel states "measure the cg from the leading edge of wing root rib".

Think that manual might be from the 100cc version??????
Manual on web says 6.8 for the 100cc... Might explain things?
