B25 Mitchell balance
 

I am going to fly my B25 and am not sure about the balance.. I am running the twin 36 Evolution motors and im concerned about placing too much weight in the nose to balance. I want to fly a little nose heavy but I dont want the motors to struggle trying to climb out because of the weight. Does anyone know how much is too much?[:-]

If it is a kit or an arf, you probably can't go wrong following the manufacturers manual or plans. Every kit or arf I've come across gives a recommended C/G range.
I would balance it slightly nose down...whatever it takes to achieve that.

Yup, move batteries, etc. and then add whatever weight is necessary to balance it as per the mfr's recommendations. If you scratch built it, aim for 28% MAC to start.

Heavy, ballanced planes fly much better than tail-heavy light ones.

Post photos! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the advice. Its a ARF and I just get nerveous when I start adding so much weight to balance. I dont know if im adding too much but sometimes a little seems like too much. I allways fly 40 size planes and this one is a lot bigger so I guess im over worried about it. Thanks for the advice guys and ill post some pics and let you all know how it went for me as soon as I get a chance.
