Welcome to the forum. Nice job on the build and maiden flight! Did you find the specified CG at 85mm from leading edge worked well?

Yes It work well for me. At that mark, with out the batteries, it is very tail heavy and I choose to use the 5s 5000 to add the weight. I was going to use smaller batteries, but better live weight then dead weight. I had to move the batteries as close to the steering serve as I could to get it to balance.

Well i use the Eflite Retracts all around the gears 105 for nose and 90 for mains and they feel sturdy, i assume that they will do the work for a long period as long as i landed as it meant to be. I have the Nose 105 Robart retract that i ordered before the eflites, and ordered the xwave for mains just in case i needed.

Good advice. Thanks. If the XWave retract doesn’t work out, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

So my Xwave retracts were delivered today. Other than being black, they are exact replicas of the E Flite 60-120 main gear retracts. The only way, at least that I can see, to keep the strut in the trunnion block is using the centering spring as a retainer. I'm not sure about that. On the plus side, they do install with no modifications to the mounting surface and fully retract the nose wheel into the wheel well.
