Default Hanger 9 Edge 540 balance

<My H9 edge, has a RCS140 gas engine on it. Servos mounted as per plans, except that I added another elevator servo. Flight battery is in front of the fromer directly below the front of the turtle deck. ignition battery is up front behind the firewall.
weight is 12-1/2 lbs. apc (w) prop17 x 8 -, 8300 rpm.>


I just don't believe it!!! ;>))

I just did a retest on mine. I tied a string to the former in front of the spar, (no fingers this time!). clamped the engine, (Super Tigre 3000), to the firewall which is ½" further back then they call for, with prop but no propnut or spinner. I then put three servo's on the stab...still didn't balance. I then put the battery, 1100 mil, on the stab and it was just a little nose down! Weight is about 10 ½ # without wheel pants, reciever, throttle or aileron servo's, glue, spinner, extensions.
