Default Euro Sport nose weight?

How many pounds did you have to add to get the CG correct?? I added 3Lbs . Does this sound right. My setup. Jetcat 160 moved as far foward as possible. Batterys, three all in nose.

Mine seems a little nose heavy with a Rhino up against the intakes and 2 LiIon batteries in the nose. I got the UAT plus all the electrics up under the canopy though..... So I guess adding 3lbs of weight to the nose does seem extreme to me.

Half of my electrics are mounted under the speed brake also my uat is mounted under the speed brake. CG is set at 17.7 inches backfrom the inlets correct?

Hi Luckyy

I think I balanced mine at 530mm from the intakes..Thats why you may need so much nose weight.
