I have the plane balanced at 8 1/2" from the back of the wing at the wing tip. I will get the photos next time I take the cowl off. I mounted my ingition battery on top of my baffling support about 1 1/2" infront of the firewall. I have my two Fromeco 2400 packs attached to the inside of the firewall. I used the two front servo openings for my rudder servo. Here is a photo of the inside setup. It was not too difficult to balance with the BME. I can move my rx batts up to the baffling supports if I needed to. With it at 8.5" now I think I should be o.k.
Didn't realize that this post was here. I absolutely love my 102" Yak, so much I purchase one of the last of the all white Gen1's. It's still in the box at this point, but maybe I will equip it this summer. Just finished my 85"Yak for new years and put the first flight on it new years day in the snow. Here is a picture of my 120 Yak, I didn't want to do any painting or have any straight lines. Hope you like it, it really shows up well in the air.

I'm getting close to being done with my all white blow out airplane. I'm just waiting on a JR8711 for the rudder, and deciding on batteries and switches. Tom

i thought it was cold when i fly here at 35 degrees. the li-ions hate the cold but in warmer weather they are great. i can get 8 to 10 flights in the summer and 3 to 5 at around 40 degrees.
good luck and great flying
randy
