This might look like a stupid question, but I still have to ask. Basicly in the past months I have been working on getting my CG right by adding some lead everytime to the tail of my plane. It never seems to end.

The method I use is in level flight to bank the airplane at 60 degrees. The "book" says if the nose goes down, it is nose heavy, if it goes up, it is tail heavy. I check this at the beginning and end of the flight (since the tank is not at CG).

So my question to the pattern fliers is: is this the right method? I would think it is natural for the nose to go down when you bank, since you loose the lift of the wing.
