Status: offline 		When setting up a foamie for 3D, is it better to keep the elev and rudder servos close to the CG or close to the elev and rudder?
Thanks
Jonathan

On 3DFoamy kits it depends on the model.

Status: offline 		Oh ok, then I will move this thread to the 3D section as this isnt a 3DFoamy.com kit.

Depends on balance where you mount your servo's basically. My pro models have them on the tail, the super kits have them by the wing.

Status: offline 		put your servos as close to the cg as u can without having to add weight to the tail the plane will fly th best with its weight around the cg, but on such a small light plane you will have to comprimise a little to get it to balance. i usually install servos last, i tape them in place untill i find a good location to achive the desired cg. if you r battery location moves do this with the battery centered that way u can adjust the cg fore and aft after first flights to dial in the cg
