Default RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Thanks for the info Garthwood. I pretty much figured out tonight what you just stated. If I want the servo's in the tail then I have to add a bunch of nose weight.
I wouldn't exactly say I'm a 3D pilot either, but I want to keep it as light as I can in case I get brave.

I spent an hour or so assembling the wing & throwing in as much realistic weight as I could & then put it on my CG machine. with the Servo's in the middle it balanced perfectly @ 2.5" & with the servo's in the tail it took a lot of weight in the nose to balance it. So, long story short; the servo's are going in the belly.

After I spent about 30 minutes thinking how cool this plane looks when it's put together I went to work on the Servo tray. I did the standard aircraft ply & backed the screwholes with Basswood.
