Balance
 

Just a question for you more experienced 3D fliers.

How critical is getting the right balance (COG)? Is this something worth tweaking?

RE: Balance
 

getting it at the recommended is very critical.... after that and you are very comfortable with the plane you can move it in slight increments fore and/or aft until you find a position that you like best..

RE: Balance
 

Lee is right on, get it to reccomended CG then you can play with it to get to your comfort level
a couple of things to remember--

1. nose heavy= fast landings

2. tail heavy= harder to control elevator,is real pitchy, hard to land.

good luck;)
