<DIV><STRONG> Ok I just checked and the old is 5 3/4 from the front and the new is 6 3/4 so you need to shoot for from Troy's figures 6 15/16 for the 30mm or 7 5/16 for the 40mm form leading edge I just ran into a problem with mine I had changed equitment and taken some weight out but didn't recheck cg, it flew ok till I tried to land it and the nose would drop out real bad it was just barely tail heavy by no more than a 1/4 in so that's why I felt the need to send these mine was setup originally at the 40 MM so if you go with the 6 15/16 from leading edge you'll be safe. Just a way to double check.</STRONG></DIV>
