[NSRCA-discussion] CG location for MK TOP STAR 140

While test flying keep adding weights to the tail until it takes a very slight amount of down elevator when flying inverted. Then see where the CG is. Now you can see where the CG should be.  At this point remove these weights and move the battery  aft so it balances at the same point or maybe move a servo to the rear or whatever it takes to balance at this point.
Recommended balance points are just a starting place anyway.

  Hey Guys
  Need some help, I have a MK Top Star 140, that I got used.
  With no plans, the airplane fly good, but I can tell that it's nose heavy.
  Needs more that the normal amout of down elevator to fly level in the 
  inverted postion, does anyone have a set of plans that have the CG starting point.  

  Thanks
