Craig a 250-260 would be fine mate. I could strip out smoke system and switch to a 260 and save lots of weight and have a machine that’s easier to land. It’s fun going vertical with the 300 though.

Yes but the BVM LG is very skinny and basic looking. SM much more robust and scale. There’s a scale jets F16 here that’s 26 dry too. Depends on set up I guess.

Thanks Gary, Digital and Paul. Gary my cg is at 280. I managed to achieve that with no ballast this time round. I’ve only had two flights but it feels great there so I’d say I’ll leave it mate.

Just wondering if anyone has any recent cg updates? Is 260-300mil from the LE at the wing root still the zone to work in? Mine has come out at 280 wth no ballast so far.

It's a great jet thanks Anton. Good to see it can handle some solid elevator input. The Dutch Lion F16 seemed to be ossolating badly throughout the flight. Were they dialling in the gyro?
