RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

How are you guys checking your CG.. I know it's 220-225mm from Wing-fuse joint? Are you checking it with the plane upside down or rightside up? Thanks!

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

Thanks. Yes please do. I just came in from the shop. I shimmed mine a little more but the gear is not bottoming out... It spins freely... Mine seems to be my right gear. I noticed when I have 100psi...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

Cool- Ok then I think I'm all good then... I am not sure of what rate I am filling but it takes a while. Anyone seen any problems drawing too much air from the main tank into the UAT. When running on...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video
