RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying
NOVAflier,I balanced mine at the fuse.What I did was measure to 31/4 inches on the wing tip in the center, took a couple tee pins stuck them in the wing tip where I marked and ran thread from one to the other side of the wing.I then presssed the thread down in the center and measured from the recessed area in the wing to the thread just to make sure it was even.
Take a piece of tape to hold down the thread and stick it to the wing.This made me able to use my great planes balancer with the plane inverted.I then was able to balance mine by lightly sticking the weight on the motor box until it balanced.Also use some old shirts or towels and lay them on the ground were your rudder is going to set and then you can hold the front of the plane up with one hand and move the balancer around with out scratching the rudder.This worked fine on mine and when in did get a extra finger to hold the other side it did balance where chip said to should . hope this helps.
