hi guys i am back from my disappearance le.
my gf brought for me a plane SLOW STICK.
finished constructed it already but i dun seemed to understand how to get its centre of gravity point. read thru the instruction le still dun understand. i think this CG this should be important so will any of u can teach me how to get the CG to balance my plane so i can fly it?
Thanks Currently working daily so when one day i have time i will go back drifting again. haha. see you all around.

if i'm not wrong is 60% of your wing area.
else bring down to serangoon drift meet let zhirong check for you loh.

hmmm coz the thing is the stuffs(battery and motor and reciever) weigh much more than the body of the plane right.. so if u nv balance properly.. the plane will fly lopsided.. there are 2 axis that u have to balance.. the most basic is the left right balance.. this would affect the roll of the airplane.. so lets say u try to balance the plane.. if it always tilts to the right.. u have to shift more weight to the left to balance it.. same for front and back.. i believe the best location is the middle of the large wing.. this determine the pitch.. so u balance the plane using maybe finger or something.. try to make it balance there.. use the same correction method as the left right one.. position of the batteries would be the shifting one as motor is fixed right..
this is my humble opinion.. i am not a rc plane guy.. i am completely noob to planes.. but i do study physics and i hope it does help u to adjust the CG to the desired place which i think should be middle of the larger wings.. cheers..
