I have read quite a few posts about adjusting the CG, setting it nose heavy or tail heavy for certain planes, etc. I am in the process of mounting a small video camera on my NexStar. I have also removed the AFS module, and changed the receiver. When I go to check the CG, what (or where) exactly shoul I be measuring 'level'. The CG balancing points are clearly marked on the wing, but that is the CG pivot point, do I check the bottom of the wing? the bottom of the fuse? Rear stabilizer?
There are quite a few places that could be checked, and I just want to make sure I get it fairly close before I take it out with my instructor for it's maiden flight.
