Really pretty result. I was going to power mine with an OS40FS but I think the electric version you have made is much better. How far back from the leading edge did you put the balance point ( C.G.)? As shown on the plan or further forward? Len Brown

Hi, This is Len in Arizona again. Model almost done! Do I really want to fly it with the Cof G shown where it is on the plan at +55%? Hoping for a reply Cheers len

I built a Radio Queen from the original ED kit back in 1956/7 . Power was a DC350.. That should take you back a bit!! Visiting England about ten years ago I bought the Ben Buckle version out of nostalgia. Alas it is still in the box but this year I have promised myself to build it. If memory serves the Ben Buckle plan shows the CG at about 50+% of chord rather than the more normal 25-30%. This strikes me as odd, lifting tail or not! Are you flying with this aft CG location or have you moved it forward. Really enjoyed this visit down memory lane. Saw the Channel crossing one in Lewis's in Manchester where it was on display ..I thought it was awesome at the time! Cheers Len....Arizona USA
