CG and Prop Angle Advice

[joel]

Well, its almost there. Servos and Ailerons work, mixed rudder in and set-up differential servo. Leaving the Dihedral in for now. Just looking for a stable aileron flyer, no rolls required yet. Got the motor mount in with the ability to change the prop angle without much difficulty. BTW, what IS the prop angle for the Cub. Anybody?
The CG is at 2 inches right now. Take a look and let me know if it looks in the ball park. How bout them CG mounts? Pretty Cheap, just have to get them back to the mrs before she irons again.

Important safety tip! I was programming and adjusting center points and trim with the wing off and the motor sitting on the table in its mount. All went well until I turned off the RX/TX. The motor jumped right off the table and dinged the wing. Must remember to unplug battery before disengaging the Rx/Tx.

First shot is looking at the prop angle. Yes its extreme, soon as I know what it should be I'll change it.

The next four are different shots looking at the CG.

This last shot is Ole Trusty. Lots of dings and crashes but still flies pretty well. Note the Biggo wheels front and back.

Can you post a picture of your motor mount. What kind is it and where did you get it?
Thanks Juusto

Here's the pic. Still hoping to find out the Prop Angle.

I do believe you use the same angle as on the stock set up. You have a second cub there..remove cowl, and set angle on brushless at the same angle as stock set up.

That should work since I'm using the same down angle that is built into the firewall.
