Default RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Free Bird - I'd be interested in knowing how your plane balanced. We just did the preliminary CG check and found that the plane was so nose heavy that it took almost 3 oz in the tail wheel area to balance - so - we removed one of the front steel blocks (same side as the muffler) and replaced it with both receiver batteries in the same area. A total savings of almost 18.5 oz and the balance was very close. Will do a final check after assembly is completed.
