LMAO!! I don't where that picture came from but that's my wing on my stand with my empty take-away cardboard box in the background

I really need to double check mine. I have a 4cell nicad AND my ECU back under the rear elevator cover!! RX Lipos are strapped to the wing tube. Either I have pilots with lead boots or (as I suspect) my CofG is too far back!

Always good to see installation pics. I may have to end up redoing mine during its overhaul so post away [8D]

Cheers,
Mark
You suspect your c of G is too far back hey Mark......
Yep! I know you suggested that too, but from flying it the first time a few things don't add up. I seem to have a load more weight in the tail than others, it is quite sensitive to pitch but flying inverted needs a boot full of down to keep the nose up - if it was tail heavy I'd expect to only need a tiny amount, if not none!? Was going to use the flights last Saturday to sort it out once and for all.
