  • 80mm F-86 CG Balancing

    The 80mm F-86 instructions clearly indicate the range for the CG from the wing at the fuselage; however, there is no direction on whether to balance the jet right side up or upside down? I am assuming upside down! Please let me know if that assumption is correct or not.

    I am requesting an answer from Motion RC staff only.

    Thanks and safe flying to all!

    It's funny that you have had 19 views when I wrote this and none of us offered to answer . You'll make no friends or get help that way

        Greetings guys,

        It's frustrating when folks forget that flying RC planes is about 'altitude' NOT 'atitude'!!!

            Greetings Guys,

            I believe MRC has a well published CS phone number as well.

                  Greetings Guys,

                  Typically, a negative entrance will eventually lead to a positive exit.

                      Balance it upside down. You don't need MRC staff to tell you that.

                        LOL Unfortunately that will go on daft ears Hardway. The OP did that over 3 years ago, joined Jan1st 2015 then made this thread and last visited on Jan 6th 2015. A one hit wonder as us musicians call em LOL
                        Should be an opportunity for the forum moderators to clear some cloud space and delete this useless thread;) White courtesy phone for AROS.

                                  New to the forum, new to this post. Great info guys, I'm enjoying every post. My 86 will maiden next season when and only when I get to be a better pilot. Having it in the hanger gives me goals to be that better pilot. Thanks again guys for your input.

                                        just got most of my babies hung on the wall to make room for putting my wife's summer car to bed for the winter. 2000 LS1 C5 Vette (Resale Red) with removable hard top only 65K miles. (Her baby)
                                        I staill can get a table setup for building winter projects but very tight for space. Oh well, she lets me buy airplanes, a trade off.
