I just picked up a four star 60 built from a kit and I have no plans. Can someone help me with the balance location, thanks.

Jeff

30 percent of the wing chord. Or balance it on the main wing spar. Balance it upside down.

still can't find my manual, but i remember that the plane builds tail heavy. with battery under tank against firewall and servos and reciever moved as far foward as possible mine still required around 4 1/4 oz of lead in the nose to balance. i'll continue to look for my manual until i find it or someone answers.

Balance it on the main spar of the wing and it will fly like a champ!

that's what i was thinking but i didn't want to say anything without checking the manual first.

I just pulled out the plans, and the center of the range is the center of the spar. That is 3 1/2" from the leading edge, so we'll all agree, to agree[8D]
Parrthd, you're dead on, on the tail heavy part, that's just about what I had to add, and my engine is over 19 oz. (Saito .65)

Thanks everyone, that is where I assumed it was going to be.

I recently built one and used the RCV .91CD and had to add 1 1/2oz to the tail to get it to balance..

Hi Shane,
That RCV weighs 25.2 oz. w/o muffler, how much does the muffler weigh? Without the muffler that's about 6 oz. heavier than my old Saito, always a balancing act
Pete

It's like 29 oz. total, I origanily bought it for a 90 size spitfire that required alot of weight in the front but it wasn't enough power. It's 4oz. heavier than my buddies Saito 1.25w/ muffler. Yes , balancing is always fun..
