BrightStar 40 Bal. Problem
I just put together a Hobbico BrightStar 40. It was put together per instructions. I installed a G-21 series super tigre 46 with muffler. This engine was left over from the past. I am having a problem trying to balance the plane. The plane is extremely nose heavy. I installed the servos to the rear of the cabin and put the battery then the receiver next. I have also put approximately four ounces of lead on the very end of the tail. The plane is still very nose heavy. Again this pane was built and balanced per instructions. I have been out of RC for some 15 years an decided to return and have so for about 2 years now. I have built several kit planes before then but not many ARFs. I don’t recall ever having one this nose heavy. Has anyone built this plane before had this problem or have heard of such. Is this characteristic of ARFs? I don’t really like adding this much weight. Any suggestions? Need help.
