Steve Of course, I could be a REAL smart a**e.............. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1495&hilit=CG+Calculator i.e. I did, but a while before............ Hey Ho.................... Build another.....................!! I forgot all about that, Sorry Dave, Probably because i phoned chriss fosses shop and got it from them, What can i say, I learned a big lesson the hard way, I will get there in the end though, Cos i want to be good at this lark, I love it, Even after losing the vulcan. Steve

Thanks Dave, Yes it was a great experience, I will certainly use the link you sent, CG and MAC in future , can it be measured with inches or mm, Is that a silly question, Yeah it was totalled, Engine and retracts etc ok though, Good job the engine was at the back,,, Steve

Also Thanks for all the help with the late Vulcan bomber today, Thanks to, Geoff/Tools,, Barry/moral support,,, Steve/Spotter,,, Jason/Moral support, Emay/Sundries,,, Richard/Video. Steve

Hi Dave, Yes i flew it today, It would not lift off on the first take off attempt and carried on down the valley, As it was over the threshold with full power and full up elevator, Killed the throttle and belly flopped it, Straightened the retracts and took a lump of lead out of the nose, Next try, Front retract collapsed, Repaired that, I think it was third attempt, Got it up, Had to hold the elevator stick a long way up to keep the nose up, But managed to have a great flight, Steve as my spotter Tried to adjust the trims while i was flying, But to no avail, Hit the end of travel, Got it

Thanks Trevor. Steve.

Hopefully Andre may be up the field on Sunday, I have just got the c of g now from the previous owner, 15 and a half inch from the leading edge, I have checked that, And it is spot on, Also the fuel tank is on the c of g with a crank case pressure system, That seems to be all ok, Got a nice little bike hand pump from halfords with gauge 100psi, Tested Retracts, They hold good pressure and work ok, All looking good so far. Steve

This is my new project, Vulcan B2 Bomber 60 span, Doing some work on it as it was sitting in a sorry state for a while, After it went in with the previous owner, So far i have roughly repaired the damage sustained, It has a os 61 Max engine, with reversed pitch prop, Not tested yet, But seems to have good compression and smooth bearings, three Retracts, Air up, Spring down with nose wheel steering, Tank pressures and ines all tested ok, Hoping to test engine up the field on thursday, Then Fly on Sunday if weather is reasonable, C of G, I have no idea, Any help with this would be greatly apprec
