Flew my HOG for first time today. Flew great at 1/3 throttle(91 fourstroke) but any more throttle and it climbed like crazy,ran out of down ele trim. Now for newbie question. How do you balance a bipe?? Are cg #'s from leading edge of top or bottom wing. Do I balance upright or inverted?? THANKS,RACJ
You have to be kidding about the CG right ????

Straight from the manual.
CG: Measured from the leading edge of the top wing with the plane in the upright position.
25% - 3 5/8" Good place to start if this is your first biplane.
30% - 4 1/8" Better elevator response and quicker snaps.
35% - 4 5/8" Approach this CG with caution. Unexperienced pilots may find this to be to extreme for their ability.
Aileron:
5/8" up/down
Elevator:
3/4" up/down
Rudder:
1 1/4" left/right
