In the end. The MAC CG reference is nothing more than a reference. It is not a holy grail of getting a model to fly properly and it doesn't carry much weight with me. I look at what the numbers are to tell if I'm close. That is all nothing more. I would say in my experience the number up around 30-33% MAC tend to fly too tail heavy for me. While 25% tends to feel a bit too nose heavy.
I agree, I just need a ballpark figure to allow me to get the weight & balance calcs in the right area so I don't have a battery pack strapped under the tail or similar. The flying tells the tale after it is all said and done.
Thanks for the help,
Mark
