Mine on the kit was moving around also. If you looked you could see wear marks on the tube. I cut a small portion of the phenolic tube away in the fuse and then installed a hose clamp around it on the cut out. Allows you to loosen clamp to remove wing tube if you wish but stops the movement.

Default good to know

I'm just putting mine together so I think I'll just fix the wing tube and avoid the problem.

How did your cap balance out R Plante?

Mine seems like its going to be quite tail heavy. I hate adding weight but it sure seems like I'm going to have too add alot.

Thanks

I am using a G 62 and came in tail heavy.There was an earlier thread on balance and the general consensus was the factory cg was more for 3D. I ended up balancing 1/4" ahead of the wing tube but I have'nt finished trimming it out yet. I'll slowly move cg back until I'm happy with it. I had all servos in the tail so I moved the rudder servo to the cockpit area with a pull pull system and moved the battery rx right behind the motor box and balanced with no added wieght. Mine came in a little heavy @ 16.75 lbs . It was kit built and I'm not sure what the arfs are coming in at.Ive only got 4 flights on it but it seems to slow down okay for landing . In the air it handles everything Ive tried so far (no 3 D yet).

Good luck with yours
Randy
