RE: Kyosho Pitts S2C CG
I used a Great Planes cg machine. I was a little off though, I didnt read the lead right. It was 6 ounces. 2 sticks=6 ounces. Thought it was 6 ounces a stick. I balanced it at 120mm based on reviews of the plane that 130mm was too tail heavy. The balance point is 120mm from the leading edge of the top wing, on the underside of the top wing. Heres a graphic of the CG from the manual.
If I balanced it at 130mm I would need even more weight. The thrust washer is exactly 120mm from firewall, so its not that the engine is way out there. Is 6 ounces too much or is that in the realm of acceptable???

(edit) I used mini servos in the wings instead of standard servos. The Servos are behind the CG. Could that be part of my balance issue? Perhaps these weigh so little the lead is needed to compensate?
