Default RE: Ideas for a micro DLG

Well i went ahead and built the apogee 36" and had serious cg issues with it being tail heavy due to using 4.6gram servos and such a light lipo reciever battery.i really hate adding weight so i experimented with removing the tailboom and tail to make it into a flying wing, and added a rudder off the back of the pod, and put 2gram servos in the wings.for elevons. It now can achieve a good range for the.cg.dependimg on reciever and battery placement. I started off with the cg far forward for.the first toss and had almost no elevator authority, so after many cg adjustments it just does not seem like i.can make it stable, its either insanely.sensative or completele mush. I guess such a small chord is not.helping. I have an idea for.a small horizontal stab on the rudder and or a canard style serface in the front. Any input would be appriciated. Btw i have tried al different amoumts of throw and expo settings.with no luck
