    Balancing my 1200 Sea Fury

    I've marked the 80mm/3 1/8" balance points on my plane. After reading all of the coments I see that the most weight that has been added is 3 to 4 Oz I'm up to 5.5 Oz and the plane balanced level, both inverted and upright. This seems like a lot more weight than all the other plane's balance point. I can't believe that my plane is so much more tail heavy. Before I fly I want to make sure everything is correct. I'm also usein a 4c 4000aMh battery. Thanks for your help Gary Brady

    I never fly alone. Too many voices in my head.

    I ran into the same thing with mine. Unfortunately I was never happy with it. While I like the majority of 1200mm planes Motion has, this one was a bust from my point of view. Just WAY too much weight needed to get it even close to balancing.
