The recommended CG is 165mm behind the leading edge, measured at the wing root. The CG location is not critical on this jet. Mine has moved over the years and it hasn't made much difference in flying...

My MIBO A-10 has never exhibited any pitching moment whatsoever with throttle position (nor did the full scale). The engine mounting arrangement is a little different in the earlier MIBO's with the...

Wow Rav, looking good! The best way to CG (and weigh) that big boy is with an electronic balancer, such as the Xicoy, if you or somebody near you has one. When I balanced mine, back in the day, I...

Rav,
I just checked and those are the throws I've been using for 12 years....they're good! FWIW, I also mix in some rudder with aileron, maybe 1/4" rudder with full aileron throw. It makes the rolls...
