Can some one mark a spot on his plane and upload picture before i put plane on ceiling for good. 🥹😁Got two gens ace 4s 4000 soaring.
Never had issue like this before. Please help meeeeee….i am going crazy.
thanks in advance.

Thanks Evan. 😁
Dont know what struck me but i dug out my old eflite p38 which is still alive and i balanced it with new 3s battery. And guess what i found in manual when searching for CG…”The plane will rest level when balanced correctly”. If i could only kick my self in the…it would save me some time. 😁

I loved my old e-flite P-38! Had a couple of them back in the day.My YouTube RC videos:

Yes that's always been the issue with e-flite. They make a good product and kill it after a year or two. Their P-38 was a good example. Although the foam was very brittle, the mold was pretty scale for the time and with the light wing load, it flew marvelously. I would love to see Freewing come out with a V2 P-38 with a much improved wing load...Shave some weight off of her. Streamline the wiring with the quick connect tech, get rid of the dreaded "rat's nest", come stock with the upgraded gear and so on.My YouTube RC videos:
