Default RE: KYOSHO AT-6 ARF

Hello Riffraff,

I'd by very interested in finding out exactly how you balanced this aircraft. I've had the Kyosho AT-6 for years and have just now finally gotten around to assembling it. I put in an OS 61 FX with a Higgly Heavy Hub and it still needs weight... that is, depending on where you measure the CG from!

(The Manual indicates 90 mm)

It balances out perfectly if I use a point that extends from the leading edge of the center section to the fuselage. However, if I measure the "shoulders" of the center section, right behind the cowling, this changes everything and I'd have to put almost 540g of lead up front to balance it. This is impossible.

Please give me some advice on how you balanced this plane, particularly from where you measured the CG!

Thanks in advance.
