It s inaccurate measurement if building not completely done' !

don t use washers for V2 T tail Motor Mounts V1 owners please remove the original washers',-
How to find out the perfect CG ?
Generally most of us measure CG by fingers and inevitable differently by different people
For example if you noticed plane a little nose up flying landing then moving CG A little forward
but if plane likely to be nose down landing then moving CG A little backward 2040mm

#-Glue vertical wing to the tail boom
Put vertical wing inside immediately
after gluing to all the contact surface
irremovable dry at least 12 hours
Warning Reminder:&
Please must have to glue vertical wing to the tail firmly and irremovable dry at least 12 hours.
this is the only way to secure stabilizers,
there is a horizontal mark line on the vertical wing ,keep it parallel to the tail surface.
it's absolutely dangerous(wrong) dicision if you want to make the vertical stablizer detachable or
removable in future by hot glue, tape, no mattery whatever way you think it's solid..
even if stabilizer not drop but 100% will loose during flight, 100% sure a loosing stabilizer
is a unstable "stabilizer and cause any weird accident, out of control, etc.
A well glued vertical stabilizer won't loose or drop no matter what kind of impact,
stabilizer is still part of the whole tail even if fuselage, mainwing crashed to hundrends of pieces

Use the short wire servos
for rudder and elevator

FYI during my later testing I removed the rudder servo
basically can t tell any difference without rudder
till flying very good without rudder

Suggestions
P16
Tail
Main Wing-
Chamfer edges of those carbon tubes
would be more smooth and convenience to deployment

Suggestions
P17
Tail Fuselage cover is possible protruded after gluing
if you found big gap between fuselage and tail boom
use hobby knife cut off few foam of the fuselage cover
-
Please ignore this page if no obvious gap
Good
