I had mentioned earlier about trying the suggestion to balance the plane at the front of the wing tube without the wing on. That really didn't work well for me.
Checking the CG with the wing on determined that the receiver batteries needed to be on the motor dome. Bummer. I liked having them up high in the turtledeck right above the PowerExpander.
As with anything that had options for mounting, I wanted to them to be as high as possible. I also mounted them as far right as possible. This is done to get the "vertical CG" as high as possible and to mount components to the right to balance the weight of the DA 200 where it has been offset to the left.
Moving the batteries created the need from some 14 gauge extensions to connect the batteries to the PowerExpander. These extensions added 3.6 ounces.
