AK Models SU-27 CG & balance
I've just finished a SU-27 from AK Models and have one question regarding balance. Do you guys balance the plane right side up with the landing gear extended? or landing gear retracted?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

It's been a long time since I've balanced this plane.
Wasn't this the trick....empty tank, gear down....lift the nose up pass 2.5 inches and then it rocks back to the tail.....yes?
