Kinetix from ST Jets
Got my new Kinetix flying today. Super excited to finally have a jet to call my own…at least until someone else wants it

I will pretty much be exclusively flying it from grass except a couple events a year from paved surface but I haven't flown it yet.

Little update on the Kinetix. First flights video coming.
All the stock throws were bang on with the exception of the Aileron. I added an additional 20% in the Radio. On the manual settings I found it too slow.
Of course this is purely personal preference.
CG Set to the stock location with the included balancer devices. It's a bit nose heavy at that location but perfectly flyable. slight push required on inverted flight to keep it level.
I have about 4-5 OZ in the nose and am slowly removing it each flight now.
Keep in mind that mine is setup with no pilot. If I had a pilot, I would not need any nose weight. My turbine battery (3 cell lipo 3300 Mah) and receiver batteries (2 cell lipo 5000 mah) are on the front of the equipment tray.
I think I have 10 - 12 flights on it now and absolutely loving this plane! It grabs lots of attention at the fields and the white matt finish is Beauty!
Starting to get more aggressive with it now and it's great!

Maiden flights complete on my new Kinetix. Went with a lightweight setup on this one, including a fuel bag in place of the standard tank and UAT. A full set of my new flush mounts keeps the equipment install super clean.

Ailerons and CG
Hello. I got the Jonathan´s Kinetix. It is a beauty. I finally flew it. But I coincide with Jonathan's comments: Rolls a re a little slow and it is Nose Heavy at Instructions CG location.
I tried to increase ailerons movement, but it is physically impossible to give more than 22mm down, so I give 22mm up an down. I wonder if I can go 25 up and 22 down. Is anybody there that have tried something like this?
It seems in some videos that it really can roll faster than mine can.
How far can I go with the CG???
