Default RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

Actually, I am doing a bunch of reconfiguring to the plane in order to reduce the tail weight. I moved the rudder servo tray (since it convenently un attached itself) to about where the CG is, on each side of the rudder but just a little higher up I am adding the elevator servos and am going to run CF rods out the original servo holes to the surfaces. I will have to move my horns about 1/8 inward, but that should not be a big deal...I took out of of the servo trays in the rear of the plane, that thing alone has to weight an ounce or so, combined with the 2 5645's that are moving to the front I should be reducing about 5-6 ounces out of the tail...this should drastically help my lead problem in the front (crossing fingers here)
