TIGER 60 BALANCING??
 
Hi

I have aTiger 60 which i am just starting to get ready for first its first flight.

On setting up on balacing machine at 4 inches from the leading edge find it is VERY TAIL HEAVY requiring quite a bit of weight, not sure how much yet but was wondering if others have experienced this and how they overcome this?

Appreciate replies as to what weights experienced and how sorted?

Hi Ray,
Mine is well behind the 4" mark. I haven't checked it since the first flight but I started out at 3 7/8" and started moving the batteries back until I liked the way it flew. It is probably very near or right on the rear limit of 4 3/4". I like to get my CG far enough aft so very little up elevator is required as the plane is slowed for landing, also little to no input is required on the elevator for inverted flight. Mine needs just a little (very very little) down when inverted to hold the nose up.
