Okay I've pulled out the last pitiful strands of my hair.

I'm at the final stage of assembly and was just balancing to determine where to locate my battery. Much to my surprise my ARF is very very nose heavy at 5" back from the leading edge. Those of you with this plane probably know that the instructions call for 6" back to start, but in another thread it was reported that the plane flies tail heavy at that setting. After testing the same thread reported 5" back was good to go.

I have a few choices if this bird has to balance at 5".

1) Jump up and down on it.... Probably not to rational

2) Replace the Moki 1.80 with my OS .40...Probably poor vertical?

3) Go through the hassle of adding two servos to the tail for elevator. However, even with the servos in the tail the battery (NiCad 6v 1100Mah) will need to be mounted under the leading edge of the horizontal stab.

What I'd like to know is have others with this airplane found 5" to be a good setting?

Thanks,
Mike
