Default RE: Great Planes Venus .40 ARF

Where are folks balancing their planes? The 4 5/8" back shown in the manual is very nose heavy. It calculates to about 27% of the MAC. The manual suggests moving the CG back another 5/8" which puts it at about 32.6% and that seems a lot better. At any rate, I have moved the cg back on my Venus and it takes off and lands much better.
