Default RE: Inside the Chadwick

Just a thought here but would it be better to put the reciever up in the nose and maybe the flight batteries where the reciever went. Maybe this would help on the nose heavness. On mine (OF COURSE MINE IS GLOW POWERED) the reciever battery is in the nose and the reciever is in the rear of the wing saddle. I'm a little nose heavy but not that bad and she flys like she is on rails. Did you raise the nose wheel like is suggested if not she will jump in the air and possibly stall the wing. Make sure that when you look at the plane that the wing is level with the ground. This will make the plane lift off the ground at flying speed and not jump in the air. I learnt this on my maiden flite of mine very scarry.[X(] Hope to hear more about your plane especialy after the maiden flite.
