Sorry it took so long to reply. SNAFU well it was a good weekend to fly but things around the house caused the SNAFU! Have you made it to the cg bit yet? I just found the cg on the bird, and the use of a little bit of weight is an understatement! I'm running two 6v batteries and with those shoved in the nose beside the tank, I still had to add a 5oz spinner weight and 10oz of stick weight! Can we say !QUOT!Flying Boxcar!QUOT!? if you or anybody has any ideas to solve this problem please share. If I find a better way I'll pass it on! Brent
