Default RE: CMP 120 Zero ARF Build thread

thank you frets24.

Well my dilemma get's bigger every minute. if you can see picture cg1, you can see original
CMP manual with balancing point at 140-145mm from cord. people are flying this plane from 120 to 140 mm.
My CG at the moment is 135 without lead under the cowl. I have used two different calculators
and results are 141-142 mm.

What should I do?
If I have to make it some 120 mm then it will have about 350 g (0.8 pound) of lead in the nose of plane.

have made balancing with empty tank, model upside down, gear retracted.
