RE: DW Yak - balancing question

I always put the CG 1/4" behind the spar. If you really want a locked in yak, then you need to run a setup that keeps the plane under 14.5-15oz.

With the CG on the spar, flight is neutral on all axis. Awesome flying.

Thanks. I thought the balance was a bit back, as I am about 1/4" behind the spar. I'm not sure how to get the balance forward without adding weight. I may try slotting the battery in sideways to see if that will make a difference. I could also cut out the bottom firewall peg. That will allow the battery to move forward about 5/8".

OK, I've got some work to do to figure this out. Right now I'm looking for a balanced plane, not a 3D monster. I'll get to that later, when I get my touch back after a few years of not flying.

Craig.
