Lift up your X PlusOne and find its center of gravity by attempting to balance it on two fingers
(one on either side of the pylon, the same distance from the nose)
10.
If the nose tips down the CG is forward of your balance point
11.
If it tips up the CG is behind your balance point
12.
Adjust the position of your fingers until your X PlusOne balances and make note of the position
of your fingers, this is the CG
13.
Measure the distance from the CG to the back edge of the battery compartment as shown
below
14.
The acceptable range is ⅜” to 1 ¼” from the battery compartment to the CG
forward CG limit
aft CG limit
measure from here
TIP: You may want to mark the forward and back CG limits to make
checking the CG easier
