The center of
gravity (CG) for any model has a profound effect on the way it flies,
handles, and responds to control inputs. As most of us know, a
nose-heavy model flies poorly; a tail-heavy model flies once.
Fliers who don't know this will find out the hard way!
Now you can
accurately and easily balance your model according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. You can also make precise
changes to the CG location to alter your model's flight
characteristics to match your skills and preferences.
In the excitement of
flying the latest masterpiece that you've labored perhaps months
over, do you take proper steps to determine its CG?
Maybe you do a quick check of the CG using our fingertips. If
the plane is too large to do this by yourself, you have your
wife, girlfriend, flying buddy, or one of your kids help with
the task. Such results are often less than perfect. Don't
risk your masterpiece! |
