Default EMPTY

Balance your plane with fuel tank Empty. This way when full it will be a little nose heavy and as you fly the tank empties bringing you back to the balance point. Also, if you fly the plane till it runs out of fuel it shouild glide good enough to make a safe landing on the field.
Remember:
A tail heavy plane only flies once, a nose heavy plane will fly again! RORO
