This is what happens when you do not do preliminary balancing prior to committing to servo and battery location !!


you obviously do not have dual elevator servos in the rear !! right!!...this would have helped !! I am not fond of dual elevator servos especially when they swing in opposite rotation...but in this case i did it for balancing purposes. While checking my preliminary balance I could see that hanging a 31.5 oz motor on the front would require servos in the rear.

Do not add weight ...this plane is heavy enough as is!!

you need to do one or both of the following.....

1... open the bottom rear of the fuse between two formers and put your battery in there...you can re-cover between the two formers with a piece of white ultracote/monokote....it is not hard... and it looks good enough so you can't even tell....I had to do this also.


2....switch to dual elevator servos in the supplied "optional" location as per the supplemental plans "flying tips" that came with the model.
