Quote:When getting to know a new 3D plane, I think it's a good idea to start off with the design CG, and then experiment. A flight or two with the pack 2mm in front of design CG. Then, a flight or two 2mm behind. Then 4mm forward, aft, 6mm, 8mm... It becomes obvious how pack placement influences behavior of that particular airframe.
I really like this approach!! Thanks for posting this up Andre
C of G is an important thing to get right and the extra effort of finding the optimum balance point is well worth it!!
