I bought 4 old RC foamie planes at a garage sale and know little or nothing about them and would be pleased for any info or tips you have, for example the size of lipos they use, the, CG, etc. update: since making the video I Googled the reg no on the big foamie biplane, N7020L, and it's a model of a 1999 Waco YMF -5c owned by Island Boat Lines. F5c and uses 3300mA 4s. Though still don't know CG. The big foamie Harvard I know nothing about apart from the fact it has a 3 inch speaker and amplifier in it. That was a first for me! The glider was easily identified as the Dynam Sonic 185. Has great reviews. Been around since 2010 I think. CG 60mm and that is sorted. The Messerschmitt Bf-109F is Alfa Model CZ. It has a 30A esc. Pretty much sorted but no idea what recommended CG is. And yes, I know, I could go with a 1/3 of the chord, but recommended might be better! So anything you can tell me will be useful, thanks.
