This plane is BIG! I used a DLE 30, 6Ch Spektrum. You need to MAX out the control throws. CG location is really 5 inches aft of LE. Right under the wing tube. I DID NOT add any weight to nose, I used two VH 2500mAh LiFe batteries in the nose and put my throttle servo and IGN up there too. I only have a few flights, but it flies really nice. Very stable, used flaps for all my landings and it still floats in. Planning to make mine an Airdrop plane by adding doors under. The fuse is HUGE so tons of room for paratroopers, candy, whatever. I really have nothing bad to say about this plane. I added some graphics to the giant nose/cowl to make it look a little better. I HIGHLY recommend this aircraft, I may order another! Here is a video of the maiden flight. https://youtu.be/oeGPHHX0sfU
