Hi All,

I'd like to get a concensus of what everyone is using for a CG on a Gentle Lady. The kit plans show 3.52" - 3.78" from leading edge. Not sure what the ARF is. I'm looking for an "aggressive" number. Anyone???

Thanks...Rick

If you want the plane to be responsive, position the cg at the rear-most position...then move the cg slightly further aft if you'd like it even a little more twitchy. When you've gone a little too far you'll know, the plane will fly terribly.

pretty easy to find. Had no problems with my GL or SL, both are very similar.

Hi All,

Once I get a ballast tube in the center section, I'll give 3.75" from LE as a start and work back from there. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks...Rick
