Newc, Hows it going? Apperantly you got side steped someware in this topic. The plane is balanced at 16 inches as stated in the plans however, with the mod's I made such as relocating the fuel tank and moveing the throtle and elevator servo's to the engine pod the CofG has shifted back towards the tale. The equipment in the pod are lighter than the fuel tank, and the 16 inch location also acount's the weight of the fuel. Hope this makes sence to you. Thank's Bart (man)
