Thanks, did you happen to check it inverted to see how much up you needed?

I'm curently flying my Hornet with a CG at 140mm (no fuel in the tanks). Far forward of the required point from Skymaster (188mm).
Feels better for me.

Looking for some ordnance for my 1/5.75 Charlie version, if anyone is looking to sell let me know. Would like the center tank, pylons and any missiles your looking to sell.

We are going to maiden ours next weekend and glad to see your updated CG specs. Your measuring from the leading edge of the wing at the root I assume?
What was your total weight ready to fly? I’m at 74lbs full of fuel. We installed K-160’s mid mounted.
Looking forward to the maiden. Will post some pictures.

Hello Anton,
Do you think a single K260 centrally mounted would give enough power for F18 C ? Do you have a picture of the Y tailpipe for single engine ? Many thanks. Etienne.

Anymore updates from guys flying this bird? Single turbine compared to twin? CG settings?
Looking at pulling the trigger on one this year, just trying to decide twin or single.
Thanks
Levi

I am building a C model single with K310. Making lots of changes and had custom fuel tanks made as well as reinforcing the big main tank with extra Kevlar. My opinion single is the way to go. Mine is still quite a ways out from being close to finished.

also in order to make it reliable I did lots of mods to make mine work.
