Holy crud! I was flying at 6.25. No wonder I had problems. Winds were gusty 10-15 too. I'm getting quite disappointed now. I was going for a light glow set-up with an OS 1.60. I have the new version kit, one mid-mounted elevator servo, and battery mounted to forward tank position. My balance point is now at 5.50. Balance with full fuel tank is 4.75. Pleases don't tell me I have to add weight!
DP made a change to the current revision Extras (with the hatched canopy) - the wing has been shifted
back to make the plane easier to balance when using light engines.
You may be OK now. Wouldn't hurt to move the CG a little more forward, though. At least while test flying.
Its easier to move the CG back if you haven't broken the plane
I know I'm moving mine to 5". Hopefully swapping the 5-cell 1400 mAh rx batt for a 5-cell 2400 mAh one will do the trick...
