I just finishe building this ARF airplane. The balancing recommadation to as follow
"The center of garavity is located 3 1/2" back from the leading edge of the wing at the center section".

The question I have is that I am confused about what they mean by “center section”. Can somebody please help?

It means that you do not suspend the plane by the wing tips to check its balance, but rather you suspend the wing close to the fuselage.

borna just measure back three and one half inches from the leading edge close alongside the fuselage and thats your sweet spot.

?????????????????!

yup, the balancing points should be close to the fuse or wing root. Balance it in an area where there's no wind. Is the plane a high or low wing ? For low wings, you have to invert the plane when balancing.

I balance mine at home when it is complete but before I take it to the field for its maiden.

There's usually no wind in my workshop.... (well it depends on what I had for dinner )

He ! He ! LOL ! Avoid Mexican food !
