Well, I am in the process of fusing the wings to the fuselage so that the energy from the wings transfers to the fuselage and to the nose and tail giving the aircraft a shifting CG and balance.
Wolffman,
I have no PhD, and don't need one too tell you that the above statement is a crock. If you have a shifting CG, you better check the battery packs; because like other things, they have worked their way loose.
Next is to work on adding 450oz of fuel.
According to the figures (you can find out for yourselves), with a delta wing the CG is negligible. However to distribute the weight evenly along the fuselage I moved the engines back 8 inches from the original engine mount positions.
You are going to need that 450 Oz's of fuel to cover that shifting CG. Eight inches back, with an extra turbine thrown in for good measure, "the CG is going to be shifted alright".
Cheers
