Setting the Center of Gravity
The Center of Gravity (CG) will affect how the airplane recovers from a nose up or nose down
condition (pitch stability). With the CG too far forward, the plane will be quite stable, but
require a lot of up elevator to fly level. This will result in an increased low end speed. On the
other hand, too far back and the plane will be hard to control, requiring constant input to keep
the plane flying straight and level. S
tart with the CG about 3-5/8” back from the leading
edge of the wing
. Use this as a starting point. You can slowly move it back as you get more
comfortable with the plane.
