Tried balancing my Sprint today but my balancer just doesn't fit the model. Made up some ply plates to fit over the aluminium rods and strung the model up with string around the 255 c of g mark and she balances slightly nose heavy(with booms and tail on, plus full header and wheels down). If I balance her on the main spar, she is slightly tail heavy, so I'm guessing I must be somewhere in between. Should I be good to go? Everything else tested and set up ready for her maiden next weekend.

I'm only concerned as I took a shed load of lead out of the nose from the previous owner who I think was running a much heavier turbine than my Wren 80.

Cheers,
Simon
