Hi everyone,
A quick question for everybody, just cant remember this one. I am setting up a CM Pro Lark pattern ship, & it is a mid wing (shoulder wing) aircraft.
Which way do you balance it, upside down as per a low wing, or right way up as per a high wing ?
Thanking everyone in advance for their input,
Tony.

mid wing's are the odd ball... most will balance right side up... some need to be up side down to make it easier. Keep in mind EITHER way will give you the correct CG given you have the right measurement... it's just easier to balance most low wing and some mid wing planes up side down due to more weight above the wing... the balance point is still the same.

Thanks guys,
I have a Great planes balance machine that I was using to set it up, & for the life of me couldn't remember.
Thanks again,
Tony.
