Moki 1.8</p>

You're on of the first that I've heard of that has come out that tail heavy....I'm on my 4th one and to get the cg back to 5.25" and more I've had too add weight to the tail...only weight I've got in front of the leading edge of the wing is the gas tank and engine...then my rx, throttle servo and then the battery...and like stated above...take the cg back to at least 5" and then proceed back from there as you get use too the plane...you'll find yourself back to almost 6" and maybe even 6+"....It'll fly great and is very forgiving....only dumb thumbs can wreck one of these planes, can land at a slow walk..it's a real floater....5mph head wind and you can elevator in for a landing..</p>
