RE: Four Star 40 Balance
I have verified the balance range on the plans. The plan has an arrow pointing to the leading edge of the bottom spar and an arrow pointing to the trailing edge of the bottom spar. Between these two arrows is the text "BALANCE RANGE".
I Realize that the balance range is just a reference point, and that is what one of the guys in my club was saying at last nights meeting.
We had the Four Star and the Balancing machine at the meeting we took the batteries out from where I had them and relocated them under the fuel tank. This made the model so nose heavy that it would not even sit on the CG machine. Then that is when this other guy said that the plane will fly like that.
I know the plane will fly nose heavy, but I would like to get it closer than it is right now.
Thanks for all the input, I think I will do what you all have been trying to tell me. Get the plane where it will fly then make small adjustments until it will fly the way I want it.
