Solve a discrepency
I built my previous Kaos from a kit and have recently assembled one of the Tower Hobbies Kaos ARF. Made some modes installed my radio gear and started to balance it. I consulted the manual that came with the arf and it indicates a balance point of 3-1/8" from the leading edge. After thinking about it for a while something didn't seem right. I pulled out the plans and book from the kit and the balance point indicated on the plans and in the manual is 4" from the leading edge. Wonder where the 7/8" of an inch discrepancy came from. Most of the dimensions between the arf and the kit built are identical. I'm thinking they made the nose a little shorter on the arf to accommodate electric motors. Tower seems to be marketing the Kaos arf as a trainer. Wondering if they jammed the cg that far forward to try and tame it down. Why the change? Should I split the difference between the two suggested cg's or use the cg indicated on the plans?
