RE: Four Star .40 Balance Question
If it balances upside down, and the CG is where the manual says, then you're good to go.
The manuals usually suggest a CG range. If the model balances anywhere in that range, it'll be stable in flight. The suggested CG is really only a starting point to get you into the air with some assurance the plane will be controlable.
And it sounds like your 4* balances.
