it seems incredibly stable for such a weird configuration

@hpept the enterprise is no doubt very stable it is a lot of fun to fly I had a very small picture of a model so I scaled it up to a little over 5 feet and it took a little time to figure out where the c/g was also it would not fly with the saucer part solid it was only after I cut the holes in it that it flew and after the holes were added it shocked me as to how stable it was and is thanks for the intrest mr modeler

Where would the center of gravity be on that Enterprise ?.

I'm only familiar with setting-up normal planes.

txfirehawk yes I did design the starship myself I was flying it with a 350 brush motor and it flew great my wife said paint it and then I went to a 2212-20 brushless motor it really flies nice

[txfirehawk]

Very cool, did you design the Enterprise yourself?

[mrmodeler]

txfirehawk yes I designed it myself it flies very nice

@mrmodeler the c/g is about a 1/3 the distance from the rear of the saucer to the front
