    80mm F-86 CG Balancing

    The 80mm F-86 instructions clearly indicate the range for the CG from the wing at the fuselage; however, there is no direction on whether to balance the jet right side up or upside down? I am assuming upside down! Please let me know if that assumption is correct or not.

    I am requesting an answer from Motion RC staff only.

    Thanks and safe flying to all!

    It's funny that you have had 19 views when I wrote this and none of us offered to answer . You'll make no friends or get help that way

        Greetings guys,

        It's frustrating when folks forget that flying RC planes is about 'altitude' NOT 'atitude'!!!

            Greetings Guys,

            I believe MRC has a well published CS phone number as well.

                  Greetings Guys,

                  Typically, a negative entrance will eventually lead to a positive exit.

                      Balance it upside down. You don't need MRC staff to tell you that.

                                        I staill can get a table setup for building winter projects but very tight for space. Oh well, she lets me buy airplanes, a trade off.
