Default RE: The new Tornado sport jet

My first flights it was balanced using the thumbs on balance point metod, and on constant bank turns the plane wanted to keep on rolling but after many flights I decided to do the nose gear weight balance and I must say it was a total different plane afterwards it just flies so much better after the rebalance. There is 4 tornados flying around here and all had been rebalance with a scale and all pilots agree it that flies so much better when you put 1.5 lbs on the nose. When I did mines it had 1.8 lbs on the nose and my bats where in front of the main tank, to achieve tha 1.5 lbs I had to put both batteries( 2600 Li-ion and 5200 Li-ion) all the way back in the fuse under the turbine.

Hope this helps.
