Thanks for the CG help Vince. I now have my battery stuffed as far forward in the wing as it will go and the CG is about an 1/8th aft of what you discribed. The squarrel characteristics are gone. Well almost. If I fly it down to fumes it gets twitchy. I like it like that though. I have about 6 planes and have never blown it on the CG like this before. Now I know what a very tail heavy plane flies like. I wouldn't reccomend trying it. I had a couple exciting takeoffs.

As far a the color scheme goes I have to credit Billy Hell for the original idea. He did an OMP much like mine. The two are different, but similar. Thanks for the complement. I really like the way it turned out. Billy's plane is on the OMP web site under the review of the 540.
