Default RE: Great Planes Curtis P6-E Hawk balancing

The P6-E is a biplane so I don't think finding the CG is quite that easy. There's a large thread on this plane in the Warbird section I belive. They should be able to answer your questions there. Do a search for P6-E. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.a...831&key=P6%2DE
Never mind the search, just click on this link.
Exactly. I have read most of the pages and found only wieght values added for specific setups. Never saw a setup or location that was used. It is a bit of a challenge due to it's size. I have used the Vanessa setup for balancing my other planes last year. I have gotten a GP balancer this year, and getting the fleet ready for the new season, I found that every plane was greatly nose heavy. So I would like to see if there's a promising way and definite location before I send this beauty up.
