Greetings Pilots,
I just picked up a used one, it's a little ruff, hoping if flies well, if so I will probably purchase new wings as these have been repaired, are missing the ordinance and the mounting points. I've downloaded the current manual from MRC's site, but reading through this forum there seems to be a lot of discussion about the what the CG should be and it's starting point. I will be flying a Zippy 4500 6S pack that weighs 725g slightly less than the Admiral 5000 most of you all are using at 732g. I have it pushed all the way forward and it seems to balance fine at the documented location and a little forward of that. Am I safe starting at this location for the maiden or should I add some weight to the nose to balance it further forward?
Also is anyone using the recommended throws for high and low rates?
Thanks in advance,
Santa

Builds finished I am using a 5000 admiral the cg is right about were the back end of the factory recommended cg with the gear down I added about an ounce and a quarter it's about a quarter inch forward of the back end mark watching you tube videos I see it proposing up on landings and leaping off the ground on take off I'll try another batt first and if that doesn't work I'll add more weight to get it about a half inch forward of the cg mark
This one's got me nervous
70 percent hight rates aerolines 80 on elevator
Mids 65 aero
Low is 60
Any input?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I took a bit of a break from the forums. Just getting caught up here. Maiden was months ago and went perfectly! She’s a sweetheart and has quickly become my go to jet. I think it flies better with the 6000mah battery. The added weight just makes it a little more solid. I will try to get some video up soon!
