Forces,

Very good information for future reference. In my case it is, if you'll forgive the term, entirely academic. In my foolishness, I found a foolproof way to see if my plane was correctly balanced. I flew it. It was tail heavy with 40oz of lead in the nose. There are really only two things I can do at this point. Move some things forward, or add more weight to the nose. Actually, I'm going to do both. I'm going to move my batteries (4x NIMH batts) forward, I have added 12oz to the nose, and I will move one more 6oz weight further forward.

At this point, my repairs are done, so I'm down to a little sanding and painting fir cosmetic purposes, and waiting on the repaired landing gear.
