My skill level is not a concern. If the plane will fly, we're all good! My question really was for those who actually know the percent rearward balance they've flown at, ... and what was the experience? Like I said I balance all my planes at 33% rearward balance. I did a search and read several who claimed to be 3D pilots saying they start at about 28% and move rearward until they get the feel they want. I can't imagine starting at 28%! I start at 33% .. and well ... have never had a need to move rearward from there, .. but never felt a need to move forward either. I guess I just wanted to know if anyone was knowingly past 33% .. and did you start from that point?
