What size (or more preferably, weight) batteries are people using in this thing?
As usual, I'm having serious issues getting the cg far enough aft. Fair enough, using 4400 batteries atm, at about 620 grams, which is slightly over the recommended 4000, but still, cg is FAR off even with as much as 40 grams of lead at the extreme aft of the model.
With 40 grams in the butt, AND carving foam to get the fairly slim batteries even farther aft, I get as far as about 520mm measured from the aft end. Which, as usual, is still a fair bit nose heavy.
Even if I was running 3500 batteries, I don't see how I could cg this thing successfully without counterweight in the aft of the model.
