Default RE: Showtime 4D 90 center of gravity

Hi Nathan,
I just wanted to make sure I didn't create a CG problem by moving the fuel tank. I was more concerned on how the plane would react when the tank was full. Factory CG info supplied is based on the tank being up in the nose. I'm new at this...and this is the 1st time I've made some modifications to the building instructions. I set up my servos the same way you did, and I have a Saito 150 installed. I did do a quick CG check, and my plane balanced out fine with a 5 cell 6v battery placed straight down from the top of the angled end of the canopy hatch. If the tank move works good for you...can't see why it wouldn't for me. Thanks for the reply!
