Very Good. Us long haired scruffy blokes need to stick together.
or do you just dress up for painting .
With a bleedy great brass nose weight in the spinner , it'd be mega docile . Though not F2Bable . for earliest flights .
and'd be stable with the engine ' backed off ' . which it wouldnt be if you put the weight in the other end .
ANYWAY , inverted on a table top ( nose & fin tip ), the tipweight should securely pull the tip, from In'bd tip on table top .
Id try 1/2 in. Fwd of the plan C.G. at first . or even initially One Inch , if youre not after the scedule on the first flights .

Getting a few dozen schedules in , on some old dog , before trying it on something nice isnt to silly. Either . Even 100 or 200 flights gets you familiar with the nuaences ./
A old Nobler with a FSR 25 on 55 Ft eye to Eye'd simulte it o.k. . Or suchlike . Tho the combat wings the best idea for ' exploration ' .
A flight of repeat individual manouveres till the eyes hang out can help too. Gets the automa tic reflex conections dialed in .
You need time at new fields too , for the background to adjust .
or perception thereof at least . So UNDISTRACTED .
So initial flights at your FAMILIAR FIELD . So you know the nuaences of the winds etc etc .
or a blast on a knockabout on the day. Beforehand . so the reflexes are in .
a bit of fast combat and stunt IS Slow . So no paint fumes for a week beforehand .
Yr gunna haveta getitin ' appearance ' at the nats .
