Thanks, it would be neet to mount a servo in the fuselage, put a long arm on the servo and attach a weight to it. Balance the airplane, then with the servo on a spare channel and assigned to a knob, just move the knob which would reposition the weight fore or aft moving the CG. Once the airplane has the right feel, check to see where the balance point is and remove the servo and weight. Then reposition the battery and such to balance in the same spot. I know, it sounds like a radical idea. It's just something I have always thought about trying.
Good in theory but not very practical.
