Default RE: CG Problem with G62 Edge 540

I reread your post and I'm beginning to understand what you are describing. PLease just try balancing the plane using the normal method, pick it up at the tips about 5" back from the LE.

Normally with a pull-pull it should be just a bit nose heavy. The last one I built with a G62 had rudder servos in the tail and was slightly tail heavy.

There's no way it will need 26 oz. in the tail. With that long tail an ounce will move the CG 1/4" or a little more. 2 servos changes the CG a full inch.

The landing gear is so close to the balance point that it makes almost no difference, same is true for the wing tube.
