Hi, First of all I would like to thank all of you for your help and suggestions. Its all been very helpful in building my TT Lazy Tiger. I finished it today but decided not to rush it and fly today and I have a balance problem. I installed a O.S. 40LA with a 10 oz fuel tank. I also used standard Futaba servos. After reading your experiences I didnt think I would have a problem. I am very nose heavy. I moved my receiver Battery back rearward of the servos and I still needed 2 oz. on the tail to balance. And this is with no fuel. What if I used a Y cable and put 2 receiver batteries back there. If you have to add weight Why not increase your battery capacity. They a the standard AA 4 cell nicads 500maH from futaba. Do you run in to trouble pairing battery packs? I could make a custom pack with some weight to it use. Just wondering if you all have some more suggestions. Also the covering on this plane was beautiful out of the box, but handling it while building has created some bubbles. I made a small puncture at the end of a bubble and ironed it out of some but it seems to wrinkle the finish. The same using my heat gun. Ya think both are just too hot? This sheeted surface is harder to work with than a built up surface seems to me, But what do I know! Thanks again.
