I've never balanced such a large model before. Can you guys tell me your preferred methods for balancing the Sig Extra 300XS (not the two person method). I understand that the plane must be turned upside down while balancing but what tool do you use? What do you use as a reference point, ie. what portion of the plane should be horizontal with the ground when balancing??

Also, I'm thinking about using carbon fiber rods for the push-pull rudder system instead of the stock wire. Has anyone tried that and had good luck with that set up (w/one high-torque servo).
Thanks
