    Just moving those battiers forward might get your CG very close to 3.5" , and that Gforce pilot might still be used .

    Are these for plane one or two ,most of these are 35% scale . The G-force pilot I received was a 25% and fit in the canopy of the 35% Extra , the 35% would be too tall and would hit the canopy . Like the yellow with red helmet pilot as second choice.

    If your doing work that doesn't take a lot of time finish then a fast hardener is the ticket. The slow hardener for vaccum bagging is i believe the correct mixture from what you have said plus you use a heat gun to get it to flow easier with the slow cure without worrying about the epoxy...

    What i'm surprised at is with arf planes they don't have an arrow shaft for a pin , like you said for prevention of swelling and for superoir strength . maybe if you give it a coat of epoxy to seal the dowel tight . Purchase some of the Westsystem epoxy with the fast hardener and i love it ...
