Default RE: CG location question

da Rock,
Thanks for the CG advice. Good idea with the two planes and kids. Sounds a little sneaky. I will take that picture over again with my daughter in it. My son who soloed last week was a little bent when he saw the name on the P-51! Little does he know that next year I am planning on getting the Top Flight P-47 60 and putting his nick name on it.
I put a Saito 82 on this plane and it was WAY nose heavy. So instead of alot of tail weights, I added an additional battery for the retracts, built a battery box and hatch half way back in the fuselage for both batteries, and added 1 1/2 oz of weight to the tail. I am planning on maidening it this weekend.
Thanks again.
