Default RE: Small mods to an Balsa USA Enforcer...

Hi Soarrich,

Thanks for the reply! The addition of the LEX and canards are more for appearance than functionality. The canards would be fixed (0° and located along the center line on the plans). Part of me is thinking to either make the canards larger and functional ( I believe that I can calculate the new CG based on whatever size I make the canards) or making a larger LEX and have no canards. The only thing is I only have a basic understanding / idea of how to add the LEX but do not know how to calculate the CG properly with the LEX added. I know that it will extend the root chord length but it will not extend all the way to the tip chord. It will not go much more past the 2nd rib from the side of the fuselage. If you have any more suggestions, I would love to hear them!
