Default RE: Balancing low-wing plane

Glide Balancing -

Heard of it? A friend at the field told me today to put your plane in a power-off glide with controls neutralized. If the nose goes *down* it's tail-heavy; it the nose climbs, it's nose-heavy. "Just the opposite of what you'd think," he said.

Gentlemen: your considered opinions please -
