Balancing

 – Balance your Extra 108

mm

 behind the leading edge of the wing 

where the wing meets the fuselage for your maiden flight.   This is approximately 
on the forward edge of the carbon wing spar tube. Move the flight battery to 
balance as necessary.       

Our preferred CG for 3D aerobatic flight is 120-125mm.   This is approximately 
on the rear edge of the carbon wing spar tube.         

When you experiment with CG location, move the CG only small amounts, 1/8 
inch or so, at a time.    A small change in CG can have a large effect on flight 
characteristics.
