Se5a CofG
Hi everyone,
This is my first post after some weeks of "observing". Can anyone tell me where the centre of gravity is on an SE5a? Thanks Rod |

Best guess is to go 26% of the chord back from the leading edge of the top and bottom wings and split the difference. In reallity it would have wandered about depending on pilot weight, fuel aboard and ammunition expended.
If you're building a rubber powered model start at about mid chord on the top wing. For RC and CL go with the 26%.
