Default cp/fp flight stuff

ever notice that the darn cp seems to be tail-heavy?

i have a cp+ and 2 different fp's and they are all tail-heavy - some worse than others - why?

i can trim them out with a touch of forward, but that adds forward motion at hover

should i trim the weight to be right on the shaft - how? - move the battery box forward of the front skid mount? - put a chunk of lead into the front of the canopy?

the superskids work like a charm, btw - no more crash damage to the skids and underside - added a short piece of fuel tubing to the lail stick to keep the tail off the ground

i'd like to see a mod for protecting the tail rotor, maybe a stiff wire around the tail rotor, or better yet all the way around the tail rotor
