Default RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

So, very slightly tail heavy at 2.5 inches from the leading edge? I decided that I'm going to maiden the plane with an OS .52S that I already had. I probablywon't have the power to spare for additional lead, soI'm hoping mine balances without weight too.

Wouldyouhappen to know the overall weight without fuel of yours?

ORIGINAL: oldtyme

After I flew my Escapade for the first couple of times (it balanced with no weight whatsoever) I found that I was having to hold too much up elevator to make landings. I added about 3/4oz of weight to the tail and it was perfect. I think with this plane you need it a tad (not much) tail heavy to be most enjoyable.
