Anyway, I will check it out and will drop some lines here when I made my experiences.

Balance her right at the bottom wing LEADING EDGE. Full Scale Pitts has the CG in the same position as most biplanes do, mine has about 100 flights on it and going strong, still looks new with no scratches or signs of wear.....fun bird to have in the Hangar! Good luck on your Maiden and take it easy on her until you learn her traits!
