Conversation Between Tuggs and Harley Davidson

Hi Tuggs,

I hope you are still active on RCU.
I have a question on your CG location for your F-89 Scorpion.
I have seen a video of you flying yours and I can tell it is balanced perfectly!
I have two flights on mine and it flies very nose heavy, yet when I place it on a Zicoy balancer, it calls for more weight in the nose.
I am currently using the provided 15mm in front of the wing-tube, but I believe this is way too far forward.

Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I do have a custom-built scale nose-gear on mine!!!

Many Thanks, Danka,
