Thats the problem with the latest technology they can be too light as the aircraft manufacturers have not caught up yet, on my Xtreme Composite Edge 2M I had to put lead in the nose to get the recommended G of G, took it out after flying the plane and getting the C of G to where I like it. On the 2.6M Edge some of the guys using 100cc engines have had problems getting the C of G forward enough, going to the extreme (pun intended) of putting trays in the cowl to take batteries to move the weight forward, that's why I am considering closed loop for the elevator instead of using the provided servo position inside the tailplane, this would move the servo weight forward close to the C of G, I know you know this, but for clarity an ounce at the back is worth appoximatley four ounces at the front (4:1 ratio between the C of G) so two Hitec 5955's which weigh four and one half ounces at the back would be the equivilant of eighteen ounces in the nose, that could be enough, what do you think?
