pandora cg concern

[gar]

CG seems to be way nose heavy. Have added weight to rear, and seems to need more. Afraid plane will be to heavy to fly soon. Any one have cg problems.

Re: pandora cg concern

hello gar. I am using a 2600 3 cell and i added 42 grams to the tail, it balanced out what size battery do you have?

Re: pandora cg concern

I've been flying in both the high and low wing tail dragger configuration.

I've never had to add weights to help for CG. BUT, the 2200 & 2600 Admiral battery when strapped in, is very far back. Far back as in, only about 1/2-3/4" of the battery is forward of the battery strap. And yes, I had the battery come loose on a flight, so I added Velcro to the bottom front of the battery and tray. Now, it is very secure.

Re: pandora cg concern

I bored a hole in the very tail, inserted 3/4 ounce of wheel weight lead, and covered it with film. Still, to get the balance better, my 2600mah battery is at the limit of the strap, so I added some carpet tape, to keep it from sliding, and another Velcro strip at the back, so it doesn't shift around and come loose. The battery cable exits the rear, BTW. It is just in the recommended range for CG this way, and flies pretty well, with minimal tail waggle on aileron rolls.

Thanks guys. It turn out the tire i bought for ruff grass were to heavy, so
I went back to stock and the plane flys just right.
