Thank 's Jean Pierre,

but i am not happy with my composite Arf Rep. I send an Email to composit Arf and no answer.
They do a new plane and no new notice?

Hello Michael: Sorry to hear you've had poor response from your Sales Rep. Let me chime in and see if I can be of help. I've been flying a prototype Ultra Lightning since Florida Jets 2008. I have the older fuselage with new wings and tail which in effect is similar to what is now the Ultra Lightning. I balanced my airplane on the wing tube with no lead in the nose, as a matter of fact I ended up taking all the weight I had in the nose previously out to properly balance with the new wing and tail. Just to be safe I would recommend you balance just slightly forward of the wing tube center for the first couple flights. In the end I think you'll find that you will be properly balanced on the center of the tube. Let me know if you have additional questions. Enjoy your new Lightning......................................... Ray Labonte

Ray,

Should we set the CG with the wings on or off, UAT empty/full? Gear up/down?

I talked with Toyman today. He said it is balanced with the wings off, like in the manual. But the balance point is the middle of the wing tube instead of 50mm forward.
