Default RE: hanger9 cap232 da50 fuel tank question

Thanks for the info! That's kinda what I was feeling.....but now understand why I was feeling it. I don't think the plane would be un flyable if I kept the cg where it is (especially if I keep it toward the front of the range) but I imagine it will be a whole lot more snappy there. That's not exactly what I'm looking for on my maiden flight. So, I will initially balance the plane at 6.5 inches per the instruction and what others have been saying here on rcu. Then I will fill the tank in the forward position and mark where the balance point has moved forward to. Then I will move the tank back and rebalance at that forward point. This will also make throttle and choke linkage installation easier as the tank was a bit in the way what with the rear carb on the DA50. Thanks again for the help!!!
