Hi all, I have aquired an unfinished "clone" of a HET F-18 Hornet EDF ARF.
Construction is almost done, however I have no instructions for it and knowing what I do about the aircrafts design, I realise the traditional CoG method of 1/3 chord is incorrect due to the LEX's.
I believe this model is of very similar dimensions to the HET ARF.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a CoG point?
Many thanks.

If its a clone, it might not be exactly what HET recommends. Get your tape measure out and go to this site and you will get the exact COG http://sky.prohosting.com/air2/cg_calc.htm
