Kamdax Mig Elevator
Can someone please explain or provide pictures of neutral elevator position? I'm almost ready for maiden, and I'm not quite sure what the [instructions?] are trying to communicate.

The bottom of the circle near the front of the V-stab is supposed to be just touching the top of the fuselage.
Here's a picture of mine at the neutral position.

RE: Kamdax Mig Elevator
Ok, thanks. I thought so, but the elevator looks like it's not quite level in that position.
Here's another question. This is my first glow plane after 7 electric planes. These little ridges under the wing root are the CG marks, right? As fuel burns, the CG will move forward, so should I balance the plane with a full tank to the rear CG mark, and then check again with an empty tank to make sure it hasn't moved too far forward?
