Steve,

do you recall anything unusual about getting your Summit III to balance with the Hanno and pipe? Others in the forum (Jeff and Chris) are getting an SIII ready for flight with a YS long stroke I believe which should be of comparable weight to the Hanno. Apparently they are having one heck of a tail heavy plane - close to 2 lbs in the nose being required, and, its built with conventional gear with mains in front of the CG. Just wondered if you might have some wisdom to share on it. BTW, was yours covered or painted? 1/16" balsa skin covered wing and tail cores?

David.
