Diamond Dust Balance
Well even at that weight, I'd still balance it where the plans show..from about 1" in front of the front spar to right on the front spar.

Hi Ken!
I can tell you mine flies best when balanced right on the front spar.
If yours is sheeted I don't know if you will be able to determine that point.
I held mine up to the light and was able to measure the center of the front spar at 15 1/2" forward of the elevon trailing edge.
Have missed you the last few mornings I was out. Hope to see you soon.
Good luck with your Dust!
