Default RE: Seagull Spacewalker II engine

I am balancing right where the leading edge sheeting ends. Does this sound about right? If so, I dont need to add any weight at all. It balances level, to just a little nose down there. The one thing I can't figure out, when doing lateral balance, when its right side up, it balances good. When I flip it over, one wing is always heavy. I dont have any parts moving, why does it make a difference in being right side up, or up side down? It just dont make sense to me. Also did anyone use the small throw settings that the book lists for the initial flights, and how do they do? The small elevator throw look like it would not let it raise more than a 20 degree climb at best.
