showtime
My showtime is balanced within spec but still wants to pull upward when making my final turn into an approach to land. It is on the aft side of spec but again within spec. Should I add nose weight to keep this from happening? My battery is as far foward as I can go. To top it all off my battery try broke during a flight and busted my canapy and knocked my piolet out. I was'nt happy about this but did repair it,
Thanks, Scott
Thanks, Scott

RE: showtime
Hey Scott,
Was this the only flight? If so, you need to secure the battery and receiver, check your CG again. Then give it another flight to check it. Loose or moving objects in these small planes can make a HUGE difference ..... Greg

RE: showtime
I want to know what engine you have in that thing. I have one in a box waiting for me to get the time to glue it together. Got a Saito 125A for it.
Do you use the SFG's?

RE: showtime
I have the Saito 125 in mine and yes I've only flown it with the SFG's. It will knife edge with hardly any rudder input. It flies very stable and flat spins real nice. My Saito needs leaned out now that I have 1 gallon through it. I have leaned it out some but it is still very rich and it sucks up fuel very fast. I have even thought of installing a larger fuel tank but I have'nt looked for one that would fit yet. Maybe it will be ok once the engine is tuned.
