Default RE: Top Flite Giant P-47 Build


ORIGINAL: HoundDog

Don't know if the TF Kit built is that much different than the ARF but my ARF balances perfectly at the 6-3/8'' 162mm from the leading edge, with a Magneto G-62 installed so the prop hub is 6-3/4'' 171 mm from the firewall. No tail or nose weight needed. Did put 2 25ooMAH LIFE batteries way in the back and had to move one battery up between the elevator servos to get it to balance.

Kit builds are heavier then ARF so balancing a ARF does not relate to a kit build.
