So based on recommendations from across the pond I am balancing the SU27 to start with just even with the front of the main spar. I modified the intairco CG template with new holes even with the front of main spar. Suspended from the wire loops the model appears to be perfectly balanced. The gear are down and fuel tanks empty with some fuel in the UATs. The scale cockpit does add some weight to nose. I will require 30oz of lead in the tail to balance and that is with ECU and afterburner light batteries under the air brake.
