DP Edge 540 HELP!!!
I've balanced the plane in multiple ways and they all come out the same - nose heavy. I really don't want to debat the pros-cons on the CG tool, since I've succesfully balanced no less than 20 planes with my particular device. I didn't respond since I really didn't understand how the device could malfunction since it places the aircraft on a smooth pivot point. Additionally, I didn't want to insult someone who has taken the time to provide me with some ideas to check. Lastly, I can't explain my balance issue...there's nothing at all special about the assembly. BTW - the tank 20oz is empty and my throttle servo is a mini.
Apparently another Edge is coming out nose heavy with the Moki 2.10. I have both engines and they have similar configurations and the 2.10 is only 5oz heavier.
I'm at a loss - I guess there are a few with balance point differences. I'm actually pretty discouraged, because I purchase ARFs to minimize the setup time - now I'm re-engineering.
Anyways, thanks for all of the ideas and feedback.
If anything new comes to lite I'll post ... for the moment I've put it aside to sleep on the issue so to speak.
