Hi, Just finished my Acro wot and setting up the radio. I am having difficulty in centralising the rudder. When I move the stick to one side or the other and let go to allow the stick to centralise the rudder. The rudder is always a couple of mm short off centre (tried in both directions). I've tried adjusting the cable wires but the problem is the same. Has anyone had a similar experience? Regards John

Thanks for the advice I will bend the undercarriage back forward. and reassess the CoG. Regards John

Hi, Just built my Super Air and attempted to get the CoG correct at 100mm from the Leading Edge at the centre. I had to put about 100 gms of lead right at the front along side of the engine, still the CoG is 110mm. Took it for its first flight from a normally mowed grass strip. When I power up for take off the aircraft just pivots and tilts forward and digs the propeller in the soil. I realise the ground is soft and not flat but the pivoting is very strong. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experence and if anyone could advise on a working CoG for my Super Air. Regards John

Hi, Thats great information. Thank you for all the replies. Happy flying. Regards John

Hi, Just completing my Acro Wot and being not use to a cowled aircraft would like to know how to fill the fuel tank with the coel in place. Normally I just pump fuel via the feed tube or the filler tube but these are hidden within the cowl. Also I usually remove the tube from the muffler to check when the tank is full ie fuel comes out of the tube. Again this is hidden within the cowl. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Regards John
