Tim Mackey Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just checked the fly fly site, and although its not listed as current model - there is alink to the "manual" in PDF format. COG is 60 - 64mm back from wing L/Edge ....presumably at the root. HERE Tut...you have do everything for some people around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Latam Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Mine is set at 54mm back at the root rib. And it flys brilliant with little tendancy to tip slall. i found the stock 60mm setting ok for glass smooth lift, but if it was any sort of ruff air, it was very un-pleasent to fly at anything other than flat out. Hope this helps. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Jones Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I had a Wik Salto for a few years and that had a heavily under cambered section and was very prone to flicking if abused. Eventually I cut a new wing with a transitional section for aerodynamic washout and also cut some into the wing. Flew well after that but with a narrow tip chord and a small V-tail I'd err on the side of caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
