Thanks Edwin, this is very helpful information. I now wonder what I've gotten myself into. My plane weighs about 9 lb. dry so maybe it won't need alot of speed to fly. My plane also came with a computer radio set up with alot of travel in the elevator. Going to change that.
The reason I ask about the balance point is because the owners manual tells how to build the plane but has no specific numbers for balancing, only a diagram. It seems like guess work. This seems to spell danger if you're experimenting with a tail heavy plane to find the right balance point.
