Hi all! I have a four star 60 under construction, and I would like to know if I should balance the wing before covering? It seams to be heavy on the same side that the engine will be mounted. balance point is approx 3/4 inch from center, this is the wing only at this point.

Thanks for looking!

Regards
Mark

I would finish the plane then balance it,move the battery and or add weight,if wing needs tip weight then I would add it.

Yes, complete the plane, install all the radio equiptment, fuel tank and engine. If its tail heavy, try and move everything that is moveable, foward before adding weights.
