what is the balance point for this plane and is it balanced inverted

hi,

sorry i don't know the balance point for that model ... But if you don't get any other help, a good rule of thumb is to measure 1/2 of the way back from the leading edge, or to use the thickest point in the wing (usally 1/3 of the way back). From these points make the model slightly nose heavy to be on the safe side and form there you should be safe to try it.

G'day Mate,
The balance point is measured by first going 120mm out from the fuselage, to a point on the wing leading edge & then between 130 & 140mm back from that point.
It is balanced upright or inverted, makes no difference, because the wing is mid fuselage. I balanced mine upright.
I started mine at 135mm back & after a couple of flights, moved it back, until I found the sweet spot, at about 145mm, but start in the middle or the range & adjust to suit your flying style.
