Default Roo balance without the wings or rudders?

Hi

Could some one tell me where does your composite Roo balance without the wings or rudders?

I would like to use this as a baseline as I install the last of the components.

Thank you

Johnny

This could be dangerous info. For instance, the guy providing this data has Monokoted wings and rudders and you are glassing (with a heavy hand) your wings and rudders. In that case, yours will end up much tail-heavier than his when ready to fly. Be aware of this!

Mark

Thanks for trying to help

That is why I asked for data from a “composite Roo”

We also need to think about servos and hardware in the wings.

It’s the thought that counts.

I was just hoping some one had the info off the top of their head.


Thanks again

Johnny

Even the composite Roos are hand made in the molds. The weight of the wings and rudders could vary. Also the weght of the wood inside the fins. Then figure servo, hardware, weights all can vary depending on what you use.
Balance the Roo fully assembled and gear up.
