CG Check....

I got it all set-up in the basement with the (4) 2S-4000 Lipos in the nose. To my shagrin it took a whooooooping 3.5lbs of nose weight to balance per the instructions of 155mm aft of the wing LE.

I was expecting needing about 1lb.. 8oz to offset the CF reinforcement in the pods and 8oz to offset the UAT's and pumps/valves being back closer to the turbines. But 3.5lbs?????

Anyone know if this is normal? Are others adding 2-2.5lbs of noseweight??????
