60 corsair balance question
Need a little help on balancing a Top Flight 1/8 scale Corsair-Manual calls for 4 1/4" from leading edge and center? I'm assuming the center is midway on the wing from fuse to wing tip- because of it's Gull wing design. Anybody out their can verfy this-Thanks

RE: 60 corsair balance question
I don't have that plane, so my advice is common sense.
Is the cg location shown on the plans anywhere? That could help you verify the location.
If not, and absent any other info, measure back from the l.e. at the fuse. The leading edge of the corsair wing sweps back only very slightly, so at worse you are slightly nose heavy. Not a bad place to be on a maiden.
Search this forum for other threads that might have your answer.
