I have the 73" Cap 232 and am almost ready to fly. I just mounted the engine (OS160) last night and all I lack is balancing. I checked the balance with the plane inverted and it balances about 3/4 or so behind the 5 5/8 recommended balance point. This is without any added weight.

How sensitive is the blance point on a plane of this size. (This is my 1st plane bigger than a 40 size.) Will this make a big difference or make it hard to fly or should I add the weight to bring it forward. I did try some experimenting and had to put a bunch of weight on the nose to gain the 3/4 to the recommended balance point.

Thanks,

Steve
