I have been told by people before that that best way to balance an F3A model is to have it inverted, however when I ask why I have never been able to get an answer. Is this true? Is it better to balance inverted than upright and if so why? Thoughts / comments.
Simple physics. If your fingers are far from the cg when you pick it up, it might be a handful and want to flip itself over since the actual cg is above your fingers. Turn it over and you get more of a pendulum effect while you slowly adjust to find the correct spot.
