I set my Great Planes CG machine to 78mm and added some more weight. Went rummaging through the parts bins and found this little nose cap which, along with the washer, weighed up exactly the same as the weight I was going to add, plus its a little more forward. Looks good and solves a problem, win/win!!
Plane without the spinner but with today's added weight:
With the spinner instead of the added weight:
Now, I may add just a bit more to get the nose down slightly but so far it looks good. I have to swap out the rx for the new one with the gyro so the final CG will be after that.
Rex, you said you adjusted your throws, what are they now?
I think I might move the aileron control rod position down two holes, the second from the top seems a little severe, more likely for 3D ing the plane.
