PikeBishop,

The first time I tried to find the balance point was just after I covered it and before I put in the controls. It was right on the money for the foreward balance point.

At that point I mounted the servos center wing (just aft of balance) and the battery under the tank. There is a LOT of room under the tank so I can move the battery forward and back to adjust the balance. No weight added.

The tires are the called for 3", I used great planes low bounce and a 1' tailwheel. I mounted the wheels with almost half sticking out as I fly off a grass field. I think 3 1/4" would have fit but no larger.

The timing could have been better, we are in the middle of a big snowstorm here (rhode island), almost 2 feet aready. Guess I wont be flying the hog for a few weeks...........
