Trying to get to the rearward CG point, with my 2 batteries in between the hatch and tail Im at the forward most CG, 4.5" Anyone else get it done without adding tail weight?

Thanks

Did you go with the pull-pull and single servo or are two servos in the tail?

4 servo's in tail on this one... engine batt is on the wingtube as on the engine box was too much forward.... I have carbon gear on it and a carbon spinner...

You mentioned the batteries are between the hatch and the tail? This means there behind the hatch cover now, right?

Why not move the batteries farther aft? This most likely will do the job without adding additional weight...

Well, they are as far back as I can go without cutting a hatch in the bottom to access them. I epoxied in a ply plate to mount the batteries to, so will recheck balance and see if it is better...

Thanks

On some of my planes when needed, I would tape the battery securely to a 1/4" square hardwood stick (however long you need it) and shove it way into the back of the fuse. I stick the battery under the stab or above the stab into some hole where it will be a tight fit and not bounce around. Then all I do is secure the front of the stick to keep the battery from coming forward and walla....... the battery is way aft without making an access hatch.

I'm sorry that you came out nose heavy, but I'm also glad to hear it because I'm getting ready to assemble one with a BME 110 engine. Now I know my balance should work out good.

Thanks, Jim

I have a Hanger 9 Cap with DA-100.....I have everything in the back....My 3 battires swicthes and regulators and rudder and tail servos in the right spot.....It balances just a little forward....Throttle servo in back too......
