Default RE: Balancing question.... problem?

ORIGINAL: CGCINC

It is upside down but just won't sit still
Use a Vanessa rig, and don't look back:

As explained above, I believe that the problem you have is related to the natural instability of the situation where the CG is above the pivot point (skin of the wing in contact with the balancer).

As the schematic shows, the situation in which the CG hangs from a pivot (Vanessa), is self-stable.
