RE: Balancing a large model airplane
Nice idea! I use two scrapes of thin ply one of which I partially drill an indent, glue the two together and tape centered on CG on both wings. Then use two phillips screwdrivers to balance. This way you can use short screwdrivers for biplanes. I bought one of those Sig balancers and thought I was building a plane, then it didnt work with any of my larger planes.
