CENTEROFGRAVITY

Caution: Do not inadvertently skip this step! This warning is important as we all have
known someone who has, for some reason, forgotten to properlybalance their plane
before their first flight and subsequent CRASH! Ohhhhhhhh..............Yeahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

So....do not forget this most important step! My DeNight balanced right on the 2 5/8"
(76mm) mark with no extra weight needed. This is just a smidge (a very technical term)
nose heavy which is OK for a plane with such small wings compared to it's fuselage.
