Default RE: lateral balance Question

Yep thats the string I used. Worked great. Well I must know what I'm doing, I flew the first flight tonight. Had a mishap on my first take off attempt, if I had another foot or two on the left I would have been OK, but clipped the top of the corn and it went in. Cracked the leading edge, no biggy, already made my repairs, but after I retrieved it, I didnt see anything else broken, so I made a second attempt and got her in the air nice and smooth. Hands off it tracked great, just 2 clicks right aileron was all it needed and flew hands off nice and straight and level.

I am just glad I didnt hot dog it, turns out the center rib on the left wing had cracked when it went in. It was a bit loose when I landed and took it apart.  All fixed now though, and ready for the next flight.
