I have had the toughest time finding the initial cg. The bird has 2 2500 4s admirals and the optional suspension struts. The issue I am having is with the gear down I have a severe nose heavy cg and with the gear up I have a severe tail heavy cg. I have tried balancing it upside down and right side up with zero differences. I discovered in the manual that it shows two different cg measurements the first being 65 mm back (English instructions) and 100mm back (Chinese instructions). I have tried both of these locations and everywhere in between with no avail. I am curious if anyone has had any issues balancing a P38. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Reider11 Three + years ago when this was released there was a bunch of dialog across the forum's about the inaccurate CG in the manual.
You will need to locate your battery's so that the CG is 75mm with GEAR UP.
