Oh yes all the birds survived and rolled right back to flight table under power everytime,,, AWESOME !! there were 3 walk of shames that day but I was not a victem,, well this time anyway, next week could have a new story lol.
Adam sorry to hear about the funtana crash, but glad shes ready to go again,, Its all apart of the hobby....
I went about 30 some odd years also with the finger balance method, but when it was close I always cheated a little in favor of which way it needed to go,, I was only hurting myself though, but it does work and never had a problem, so now I am accurate to the centimeter lol. and I think I bought the CG toy just to buy something for the hobby one day, its definitely cheap enough, probably the least expensive thing to invest in and lasts the longest.
