Status: offline 		I just recently bought a Hangar 9 Edge 540 33% with a Da 85 in it but i am struggling with the CG on it.
on the review i read on the plane,they marked it at 4 1/2" and at 5 3/4" but balanced it at 5" but the plane was tail heavy in the air
But according to the manual it should be balanced between 6" and 6 3/4".
At the moment the plane balances at 5 3/4" but i'm not sure if this is correct and i'd like to know where the correct CG point is

Status: offline 		i am also having a sight problem on the radio side of it, i use a JR 2.4 X9303 in it and when i do a range check 100ft (30m) i have full control of the plane but not when the plane is facing me,i am not sure if this is ok. I think that the engine could be effect the signal when the nose is facing me but i am not sure, do you have any advice on this or ways of fixing this problem?or would it be fine to fly the plane like this?
