Updated flight report 5.08.18.

Last night I went to the flying field and flew my Tiger again, the wind was a bit of concern, but I did fly nonetheless. In an attempt to slow the plane down on landings, I removed 1/4 oz. of lead weight from the nose, moving the CG back, . I am very happy to report that change made a world of difference, the plane slowed more to my liking on landings. I'm going to place my Xicoy CG balancer on it tonight and it will tell me the exact measurement of the planes new CG point which I will post. I'm going to fly it a bit this way and will then determine whether or not another change is in order.

It doesn't take much to move the CG forward or rearward when your shuffling weight around. I hope that you will experiment with your own planes, you just may be surprised with how the plane flies...
