Setting cg on a low wing plane
#3

My Feedback: (221)
CG will not change when inverted. CG is CG. It is just sometimes easier to balance the low wing plane inverted because more of the mass is below the balance points. I balance both ways for CG, whichever is easier given the size and shape of what I'm balancing. Lateral balancing I always do right side up because it is easier to hold the tail.

I balanced my Kaos both inverted and level and I could not see a difference. As mentioned above Lateral balance was done level and made a big difference in flight.

Thanks! Yea, It holds its setting much better canapy down. Up, and it stays down on the tail or nose depending on which I push down......871
