Rebuilding my Island Hopper after breaking the wing in half, and now adding some better finished mods to the plane. Given I've learnt flying this plane comfortably. i want to continue to refine the skill of "not breaking things & keeping it in the air".
One thing I'm not sure of is how to find the COG of a plane if your plans/manual doesn't tell you where it is. There loads of stuff on the net but its all in inches and in the old speak of imperial.
One thread i read tells you to measure 4" from the fuselage along the thickest part of each wing![Confused Confused](https://forum.rcflyingclub.com/images/smilies2/confused.gif)
Any advice???
