I’m building my first Kadet LT-40 and have just finished epoxying the wings together and sanding. When I sit the wing on the ground it tilts to left side if I put about 3-4 grams at the end of the right wing tip it sits dead level…should I even the weight out or wait until I’m putting the servos and battery in be before worrying about it..

Thanks in advance

I just finished my first kit but I am pretty sure that the instructions asked me to install the servos, battery, and receiver then balance the wing then cover the wing. If I am wrong I am confident 50 people will let you know real soon.

After the plane is finished,and without fuel,then balance both ways.

Of course a perfectly balanced airplane is ideal and if you can get it perfectly balanced easily do it...however, I personally would not be too concerned about lateral balance on a trainer such as the LT-40. So you'll need a click or two of aileron trim...big deal. Lateral balance is more important on high performance aerobatic airplanes where tracking in a loop is essential.
