I have been a xoar prop user for years but I have had a R/C buddy suggest I try falcon so I am contemplating on given them a try.

I think once you try a Falcon, you will be very impressed. Can't find anything I don't like about them.

 Thinking of trying this in my Edge, ha-ha. It needs to go somewhere!

Looks like an easy motor box modification. The header drop is correct.

I have a buddy with this same airframe and powerplant combo...flies really well...HUGE control surfaces!

I'm just finishing up mine. What is the best balance point?

I have mine setup with the middle of the recommended settings and it flies great!

For some reason, I cant find a manual. What is the recommended CG?

 

[thurmma]

I am attaching the manual. Page 37 says the cg should be on the trailing edge of the wing tube. On mine there was a marking on one side of the fuselage inside. Mine is a couple of years old, so the marking may not be there any more.

It says the file is to large, so here is the link to it on Chief Aircrafts site: http://www.chiefaircraft.com/pdf/100CCMANUAL.pdf

Yes, this is the manual for the 150cc size also

Thank you for the link. If the rear of the wing tube is correct, I am going to be WAY nose heavy. I will look for markings inside the fuse.
