Did you balance it on the CG? I don't have the cowl on mine yet (waiting until the engine is fully broken-in), but I did have to move the battery closer to the servos.

Turn off the all caps, please.

i used a cg balancer, at 75 mm which is 7.5 cm behind the leading edge and it took about eight ounces to balance it yes the cowl was on to hope to fly it today thanks chris

What size engine are you using, and where is your battery pack?

If I am not mistaken, one strip of the Prather lead is 3 ounces.

I have a Spacewalker II with an OS 46AX and 1 ounce of lead in the tail to balance. Mine flies very nice.
