I think this information would be handy for most everyone here. It would be nice to have a good description in laymans terms of characteristics. Possibly also a description of why certain airfoils are used together blended in a wing and why. Cheers, Mark http://www.isthmusmodels.com > SD7037 -

Looking through my copies of plans and instructions for the Cirrus, the CG should be 3 5/64" to 3 35/64"aft of the leading edge. I have always figured this was measured close to the root of the wing. I see no mention of control throws anywhere. The instructions it seems assume you are using Graupn

This has been on the Hobby Lobby site for quite awhile. Not a RDS clone from what I can see since it does not utilize a rotary motion. It has a back and forth motion via a control cable and as such isn't as universal. It is similar only in that it does not have control horns hanging out. Might wor
