Thanks for the suggestions Dave.
But im not sure i follow you.
With the motor batteries in the position shown, the plane appears to balance correctly. I will check the balance again via wing position when i get home from work, but even if it needs nose weight, i can simply move the batteries forward 6, 8, 10 inches. So why move the esc for balance?
I still have to install cooling baffles for the esc and cut all the air acess holes. Those should cover me from a cooling perspective.
I did realize that i do still have to install the tail wheel, which should change things slightly since the tail moment is so long.
Also still have to install the receiver and receiver battery, but those will mount pretty much on the CG.
So biggest queston, is 230mm the correct CG? I need to start somewhere.
