Default RE: Balancing a Trainer

Hey combatpigg I sure do hear ya on that one. papapapapapa.............Omm Mau Mau. Loved that dumb old song

Rap Taz you have a great setup and sounds like you are getting everything together just fine. Going external also works well just a note though if you mount stick ons over the film covering with just the stickum tape it will soon disappear and usually in flight expecially on the tail where it is bombarded by exhaust oils and residue. I know you are doing the epoxie thing but this was just a note for the fellows who use the stick on's. The best way to use those externally is to remove strip of the film covering where the weights will go and use epoxie directly between the lead and wood.

Rap Taz putting a battery behind the servos involves a lot more work usually including covering work. I am not suggesting this in your case but just for giggles here is an extreme case and the reason is the airplane has an idenity crisis, likes to fly some times with two engines and at others as a glider and moving the battery pack from the tip of the nose to stabilizer when needed was the best solution
