<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greg Frohriech's is forward....and it flies well
there. Actually if you move the wing forward then you don't need weight in the
tail to balance. The original has servos in the stabs. My model has
about 2-3 ozs in the stab tube.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greg is running a single elevator servo up front
also and his model doesn't have the tail weight......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They fly about the same. His is 2 stroke so its
tough to really tell....but flying wise I can't seem to find much of a
difference. Its subtle....If I built another I think I would move the wing about
1/2" forward to help my CG situation anyway. Its a very good model. One of the
best I have ever owned. I have about 3500+ flights on 2 Smaragds. Flying
then now on the 4th year.</FONT></DIV>
