For posterity!

This is how I have avoided breaking the landing gear mount on my Acrowot Foam E. One of my fellow flyers suggested that the U/C was too rigid for the weight of the model, and a possible solution would be to "lighten" the undercarriage. I've done this on my Acrowot Foam E and despite my arrival style landings the original landing gear plate and screws are still firmly attached to the model. The worst I've done is bent the gear badly, but the gear remained screwed to the U/C plate and the U/C plate remained stuck to the acrowot. This arrival got a round of appluase from my fellow flyers - it was pretty dramatic. I just unscrewed the U/C when I got home, straightened it and screwed it back on, ready for the following weekend. Did the same on a Wot 4 foam E. The U/C plate is still attached to it, but I did manage to break the plywood support in the Wot 4 Foam E fuselage just recently. A couple of minutes with a stepped reamer (Lidl's finest) and job done. I think it looks pretty cool too, but maybe that's just me.

I know this is an old topic, but I thought I'd "misplaced" the manual for my Kyosho Sensation (new, fancy radio, vs old, much less fancy, radio), and was disappointed that the information was not on the web. Google did throw up this thread though, so now that I've located the manual (left up very carefully, too carefully) here's the COG and control throw information from the manual. CoG: approx 94 mm from root LE AIleron: +/- 8 mm Elevator: +/- 13 mm Rudder: +/- 35 mm I did have a photo, but for whatever reason it failed to upload, even after re-sizing.

Picasim works well under wine on linux, i've used it for years now since I gave up on Windows outside of work. I believe I installed the latest version of Picasim under the current rev of wine. This was one of the first things I did when I was setting up my "new" laptop. On my old laptop I had to go back a few versions of picasim to find a version that worked with wine. It's been at least two years since I upgraded so the details are all a bit hazy, other than Picasim works perfectly on Linux Mint 20. The information you need is on the picasim help pages.
