Default RE: How do u Check the CG of a plane?
What surface needs to be "level" to consider a plane balanced? Is it the stab? And is level defined as parrallel to the ground?

I tried balancing my PT40 today for the first time (she's almost ready to fly!) the nose sat slightly lower than the tail, but didnt tip off the balancer. If anything, the nose was maybe 1" lower than the stab. Is my PT40 "balanced"?

Thanks guys
