CG Balance GP Big Stik 60 With Saito 100
Anybody recall what needed to be done to get proper CG with this combo . I have mounted Saito as far back on mount as possible , but GP Big Stik 60 has a relativity long nose. Without doing a full mach up, to check , I was wondering if it is necessary to mount elev. and rudder servos on the outside aft fuselage. Needless to say I do not want to add lead weight to tail . Any other suggestions appreciated .Thanks

I made mine a taildragger and moved the rudder and elevator servos to the rear fuse on the outside.I'm using a Evo 15cc gas engine on mine and it balanced without adding weight anywhere.Hope this helps.

Tape the servos on back of the fuse, put thel tank reciever battery and whatever else you have in their approximate locations, lift the plane at the CG location by placing your fingers under the spar, the last thing you want is to add more weight, you should balance situating hardware, you don't want to be tail heavy as servos in the tail can make a huge change.
