Default RE: Black Horse Matrix CG

Okay... here are the pictures of the mod that has transformed the plane!!!

First is the old way that made the plane very very tail heavy.

Second and third are the new way, which, after balancing it yesterday allowed me to do the following:

1. Reduce one elevator servo (important because my Eclipse radio is not equipped to handle two)
2. Eliminate one battery back originally used as dead weight
3. Move the fuel tank one inch toward CG
4. Remove the spinner nut I had beneath the plastic spinner!
5. Reposition the battery pack and Rx just ahead of the CG and not next to the firewall where both are inaccessible.

Now... if it doesn't fly better, I will not be happy!
