About to do first flight with this one. ( actually first flight was 5 seconds adn broken prop .. OOPS! )

Any tips on set-up or flying?

Where the CG should be seems to be in dispute. The ARF book says 3 1/4 back, but another set of plans that were posted on another thread say 2 3/8.

My first flight went badly at 3 1/4, so now I am balanced at 2 3/4, about half way between the two.

Any CG or other tips appreciated.

I purchased this at a swap meet, so I don't know if it is a kit or an ARF.

The plane has a geared speed 280. I have two GWS pico F servos and a Hitec Feather receiver. Will be flying on 7 or 8 4/5 AAA cells. 500 mah pack

FYI
