I just thinking about having my “penny worth” of advice here in response to Neo’s post. As it is said before – you balance high wing plane normally, and low wing plane – upside down, as it is perfectly shown on Richard’s pictures (by the way – very nice warbirds).

Nose heavy or tail heavy? Here I am immediately thinking about final approach. This is the point where you like your plane to be slightly nose heavy, because in this case it helps you to maintain correct glide path and airspeed. Tail heavy will try to “fight you” by attempting to flare, thus it might cause premature stall… and we all know what this means… [sm=crying.gif]

Have a good flying!
