You're absolutely right!
Once I read your post, I looked over my manual again and notcied it says 2.5-3" at the wingtips. I'm balanced at 5" along the fuselage.

Has anyone got some numbers for balance point along the chord at the fuselage rather than at the wingtips (2.5-3") since the leading eedge is not square???

I may have to do some shifting of the batteries as it just balances at 5" with the DA50. Any suggestions???
