If the designer of the plane did a good job, He would have calculated the C.G. of his creation. Is it really asking too much of the designer, kit maker and retailer to share this information with the buyer.
Maybe some of us are ordering and trying to fly planes that are over our heads, but its our money, and it is our choice how we spend it. If getting a C.G. with the plane when we buy it would help us, Why should you, and some of the experts object...........or don't you want us to know? I thought that we were trying to encourage newcomers into our hobby. If a little help with the C.G prevents the less skilled of us from crashing, and possibly giving up the hobby isn't it a cheap price to pay? By the way, the Jade kit gives two different C.G.s. One on the instructions and a different one on the plan. The one on the instructions is so nose-heavy that it is nearly unflyable even by two LSF 5's who tried to help me sort out the problem. The problem wasn't apparent to the experts when a check of the C.G showed it to be EXACTLY what the instructions specified. When I discovered that the C.G. on the plan was ,7 inches further back, and rebalanced to that setting the Jade became a real pussycat...A real joy to fly. I must admit I came very close to giving up the hobby. Now I'm ready to order a couple more High Dollar planes RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
