Hi Rich,

I have a 320 with a long mount, small tail and a header tank. The empty CG
worked out just right and it flys like a dream.  One suggestion though, if
you stay with the small tail, be sure to put in Rich Trickle's geared trim
system and the larger trim springs. The geared trim system is very well
designed, easy to install, looks good and works great. I've flown a 360 with
the large tail and I truly can't tell the difference between that and mine.
As far as CG goes, the prop you use will make a large difference (I have an
MT in mine) and the battery location (mine are on the firewall) can be used
to adjust the CG some.
