C.G. -> Mini ShowTime
Hi,
The recommended CG for Mini ShowTime is 4.5" (114 mm). It does not give a range... just that CG as a starting point. I'm just thinking that that CG seems a bit far back for a "starting point"... even for a plane like this.
Does the Mini ShowTime have a pretty narrow range for CG? And I'm wondering if I wanted to err more on the side of nose heavy, how far forward from 4.5" could I go without making it too much like a cruise missle?
One reason in particular I'd be interested in erring more on nose heavy, is that I have two battery packs of different makes that have weight difference of about 20-30 grams. I may need to adjust for that and there will be a margin of error.
Anyone with this plane gone nose heavier than the recommended 4.5" CG? By how much? I just get the feeling that the range is probably more narrow than usual, so thought I shoud ask.
Thanks
