RES??? Holy Crap!!!
Ok... now I've gone and done it... Picked up an AVA Pro. The craftsmanship on this thing is just unbelievable. Very nicely done - Kudos to Barry and Vladimir. Should have it built by the end of the weekend... flight reports soon.
Well, I flew it. It's really fun to fly, but just like every model I've ever flown, the guys flying them have the CG WAY too far forward to be efficient. I'm a full 5/8" behind all the "expert's" recommendations, and it's not at all unstable. How are guys determining their CG's, and why so afraid to push it??? Frustrating.
