<DIV><SPAN class=680394402-27082006> Yeah it sounds like this plane turns
out nose heavy. He's using a PPM receiver and we'd like to put the antenna
inside the fuse. I've had problems with this before when running long servo
leads (RF noise). It sounds like that's the best way to do things as far as the
balance issue is concerned though. Guess I better give it a
try.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>John,</DIV>
<DIV>You will likely find the airplane nose heavy. For a review, I had
to use an OS .61 (!), and even with it, the plane was nose heavy with the
rudder servo in the tail, and the elevator servo in the servo
compartment. I had to add almost 2 oz of weight to the tail.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I put in an OS 1.20, I will put in 3421s in the tail for the
elevators. I've never had a problem with long leads, just be sure to use
the HD ones.</DIV></DIV>
