I'm fishing for comments here. But I am puzzled why my Caelus is so tail heavy? I have my rudder servo moved to the spar location (pull/pull), my Rx, Powerbox Sensor switch, dual 600 mAh Rx packs, CC 120 ESC and wiring harness as far forward in the fuselage as physically possible. Even then my heavy (620g) packs need to be centered on the stock tray to balance between the aft edge of the spar tube to 1/2" behind it. With the light weight 520g packs I am getting it may be necessary to extend the stock tray forward and put the packs against the firewall of the rear mounted Himax 6330-210. I may need nose weight! Spinner is the heavier Gator one too. Has anyone else with the new paint scheme Caelus experienced this?
Oh well, I may have some lightweight batteries to sell soon!
