Ahhhh, balance in life is just as important as a balanced plane. The Great Planes CG machine works great. The CG is at the aft end of the CG range (about 4 inches from the leading edge). I didn't move the battery under the fuel tank, but I have that option if I need to move the CG forward a little.

I also purchased a Great Planes AccuThrow machine and it worked very well also. I adjusted the trim on the elevator by turning the clevis several times and moved the push rod to the outer most hole on the elevator servo. Moving it one hole sure does increase the throw quite a lot, so I was able to move the clevis to the middle of the control horn.

One question: the manual suggests that the aileron should move 1/2 inch up and 7/16 down. It's a very small difference and mine are pretty close, but how would one go about changing the throw of only one direction of a control surface? I also read that reducing the down aileron throw more can help reduce drag on turns and rolls. So if I wanted to reduce the down throw to perhaps 1/4 of an inch and still keep the 1/2 inch up throw, how can I do this? It seems to me that if I change the down, the up will be forced to change as well.

You may see in the picture a can of Pledge. This stuff works amazingly well to clean, shine and remove small scratches on Monokote and canopies. It even shined up my wheels pants.
